colorcoke - you CAN modify the extended (>16) colors

AUR: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40798
PAGE: http://github.com/trapd00r/colorcoke

It's a well known fact that you can modify your belowed 16 ANSI colors however you want.
It's a well known fact that you can not modify anything else then that.

Now you can.

      colorcoke lets one modify the extended colorset (88-16 or 256-16 colors,
      respectively) for a running terminal session. The change takes effect
      immediately - no need to restart the terminal, like when using xrdb.

      Shades and tints can be generated for an arbitary number of ranges.

      The ANSI colors can be left untouched, be included in a shade or set
      separately. One can also exclude everything but the ANSI colors.

      The grey scale ramp (extended color index 232-255) is left untouched by
      default. To include them, set the end point to 255.

      The starting point of a shade is specified with the -h flag, and the stepping
      is controlled with the -r, -g and -b flag - red, green and blue channel.

This is very much a work in progress and there are lots of features I'm about
to add, but there was some request in #archlinux so... here it is.

And thanks to fogobogo for the PKGBUILD handholding as usual.
