I've implemented slight variations on the algorithm presented in 

	Heckbert, "Color Image Quantization for Frame Buffer Display",
	Computer Graphics, V16 #3 (July 1982).

It gives quite good results, was fairly easy to implement, and the
performance is reasonable on SUN3 machines.  If you're interested in
having the code, and not too picky about dealing with grungy stuff
(this was a Saturday afternoon quick-hack special), send me a note and I
can mail you a copy of the C source.
