	... Looks a lot like our variant,

		"setback /images/color_mapped/some_image"

	except setback is a program with internalized logic to handle
	files in either compressed or uncompressed format.  However,
	it only handles file in Img format.  It'll also convert to
	dithered monochrome if you prefer.  Anyway it's on expo in
	contrib/Img.tar if you'd like to try it.
