The Porting layer document is, alas, a palimpsest.  GetStaticColormap is one
manifestation of an earlier version all signs of which have not successfully
been obliterated.   It used to be used, until we found a more elegant solution.
The function need no longer be documented and there's no reason to have the
code in CFB.

By the way, the same sort of confusion is at the root of your
ListInstalledColormap bug.  You're right, ColormapPtr is a pointer to 
a ColormapRec, not to a Colormap.  The documentation is wrong.
