The grabber can sort of do that: it only knows to look at a single image
while generating an optimal palette, but can then reduce as many images
as you like to that fixed palette.
Standalone tools with more flexible options are certainly useful things
to have, and there are a couple (Fixpal and Smacker) linked on the
utlities section of the Allegro site, but I think it's better to keep
such things separate from the Allegro distribution: there's no particular
reason to merge them, after all!
If you have a useful utility, by all means give me a URL so I can link to
it, though.
