	I've always wondered about this, given the codec formats I've seen
that actually specify the frame dimensions in the header. Do you have any
sample media that exhibits this behavior?

	Actually, I was thinking of making an actual array of BGR entries
along with a count of how many entries exist. I imagine I'll eventually
have to modify the AVI, ASF, and MOV parsers to make this fully workable,
but it kill be cleaner than passing (unsigned char*)bih+40 as the palette
table.

	Thanks...
