Yep this is what I'm doing and intend. I am warping and mosaicing
multiple strips of imagery together. My goal is to have an indexed color
image to display in mapserver (I have several reasons for needing
indexed color). Because of color histogram differnces between the strips
of imagery I must quantize the image as my last step. Rgb2pct.py does
great except for this one problem. 

I'll submit a but report and start looking into how I can do this.

Thanks for the info.
