Amen!  It seems pretty to easy to do for the original 8 colors in the old ROM,
as all you'd need is a setgray command here and there.  With full color of
Color QuickDraw, it still seem straight forward except when doing a CopyBits()
from a color grafport.  Here you'd have to do a NTSC monochrome conversion and
then an image command.
