Converting to Photoshop .ACT format is easy, It's just a series of
three-byte colour values for however many colours you are using. You
could just write a couple of lines of code to dump your palette raw to
this sort of file.

eg. if you are in 256 colours, the file will be 768 bytes long and the
contents will just be RGBRGBRGBRGBRGBRGBRGBRGBRGBRGB...
