Egbert Eich has indeed put together some software simulated pseudo color 
support.  Note that this won't be any faster than doing it yourself in the 
application though, and may in fact be significantly slower except in the 
remote case as it won't be able to perform any application-specific 
optimizations of the recoloring process.

I'm not sure which drivers support this new software pseudo color option.
