For lesstif, you should be able to just allocate a private colormap in
lesstif_parse_arguments() and XtSetValues it into the first widget created
by XtAppInitialize.

Or you could defer it until lesstif_do_export and assign it there.

Avoiding the psychedelic flashing color palettes is a much harder
problem.

Are we really using that many colors in the lesstif hid?

Another option is adding a "find closest color" feature to the color
allocator.  That will at least cover the colors used by the circuit
board itself.
