Hm, I'm trying to understand how to determine whether we want to reduce 
colors or not.

If we have GD2 and the output is JPEG or PNG we shouldn't reduce colours. 
OTOH if we have GD1 or create GIFs we need to reduce colour. GD2 usage is 
known from the config. But how about the output format?

The original patch just changed all reduce colour values from 256 to 65536. 
I fear that calls for troubles when we DO want a GIF.
