That was kindly made by Bob to accomodate the BeOS needs =)
Under BeOS in 8bit desktop mode you can't change the palette: you have a
global system palette only, and you have to live with it. This means that an
Allegro palette needs to fit into this system one, so a conversion is still
needed. So yes, the driver needs to update the LUT everytime the Allegro
palette changes...
Anyway cool, it looks like you're really quickly redoing the routines, thanks
a lot! The BeOS port would have been broken in the upcoming new WIP without
them...
