    Using a 256 color palette, is it possible to simultaneously use
different palettes in different parts of the screen in Allegro without
the flicker produced by set_palette()? I tried a hack using memcpy with
a temporary palette, but I'm beginning to think that the way a vidieo
monitor works makes this unlikely, if not impossible, without some sort
of interrupt routine. Any comments?
