    The reason I need this is to print window dumps to
    B/W postscript printers via xpr (which only likes xy).

xpr has been improved to do color-to-monochrome conversion for general
(including Z format) images.  It will also do a simple color to gray scale
conversion.  This code will be in R4, but we don't expect to release it
before then.  (Of course, AT&T is a member of the X Consortium, and as
such there are groups within AT&T that should have this code already.)
