it used to work before, and COLORTABLE is an experimental feature
of pilrc :) [i know, i wrote it].. things may have changed with
palmos 4.0 or, the dumping of data from pilrc.. cause it is not
a standard thing.. its not really checked :)

tell you what :) here is a really cool trick.
take a look at pilrc sources.. and, you'll see the BITMAPCOLOR16
and BITMAPFAMILYSPECIAL tags :) now, if you look closely, they
match to a cutom pallete (yes, a VGA 16 color) ..
change the palette with yours, recompile.. set the palette in
your app using WinSetPallete() and wola! :P
i would LOVE to have a COLORMAP tag specifically for this
bitmap tag (so, we can supply a .pal file) but, been a bit busy
lately to work on pilrc..
and, before you consider digging in.. wait until i get 2.8p7
out :P i'll do that before the weekend.
