    I had an application once where I wanted not the number of free cells
    in a colormap, but rather, a *contiguous* set of cells in a colormap.
    Is there any way to do this?

Nope.

    Do I have to just
    allocate and then, if I get non-contiguous pixel values, deal with the
    situation as best I can?

Yep.  Our standard colormap code stands on its proverbial ear something along
these lines.
