[gdal-dev] Combining TIFFs w/ different color palettes

[Michael Koehmstedt]

That's a shame. I just might have to write my own GDAL tool to accomplish
this then (should be a fun way to learn the GDAL library as well). I've
tried converting to RGB and going from there, but the resulting file sizes
become very large in comparison and take hours to merge.
