Is there a procedure involving FOSS tools like GDAL or ImageMagick that

that there is a program called rgb2pct.py in GDAL but that doesn't allow one
to specify a universal palette.

Dustin,

The rgb2pct.py script was done as a script, partly so folks could tailor
it to their needs.  If you look at it you will see it has two sections.
One to compute the color table, and another to apply it.  I would suggest
you build some sort of mosaic, or montage of imagery that you consider
representative of your total set, and use the ComputeMedianCutPCT()
on that.  Then loop over all the images using the DitherRGB2PCT().

Lastly, is there a FOSS tool that can take a collection of tiled TIFFs
in one projection and then reproject/retile the TIFFs in another projection?
I've worked with gdalwarp on a per-tile basis but that makes the output
tiles parallogrammed as per the re-projection and this causes me trouble when I go to seamlessly composite the new tiles back together.

I am not aware of such a tool.  Generally when I am in this situation
I warp to a bit mosaic and then cut that back up again if I require
things in tiles.

This might be a good topic for a bug report.

Best regards,
