Patch for systems w/o rgb.txt

Systems that run headless often don't have rgb.txt or Gimp's Palette file on them. This patch adds the GPLed contents of Gimp's Named_Colors as a __DATA__ section.

Message body is not shown because it is too large.

While this would be nice, Imager is distributed under both the GPL and the Artistic license. Including material distributed only under the GPL would restrict Imager's licensing to just the GPL. Tony

Would it work to use a color file released under a BSD license?

That should work. Tony

I've added a new module which includes an X licensed rgb.txt as the source for color information. This module is then used to determine the color if the name is not found as a gimp or xname color. It's also possible to use the built-in table directly with the 'builtin' keyword. The X license is compatible with both the GPL and the Artistic licenses, and so doesn't cause license problems with Imager. This is currently in CVS. Thanks for supplying this patch, it provided the impetus for the inclusion of the facility in Imager (eventually anyway :)
