To catch up to Gerry Creager's new images, I changed the TRANSPARENT
tag to accept a color instead of only black.

Here is the docs from the help file:

TRANSPARENT 
Color to remove from the background (make it transparent).  Use a
number, 0=black.  Colormapped images use the map value, so white is
usually 0xffff (65535).  Value can be decimal, or hex if preceeded by "0x".
The value can be obtained by using debug level 16.  The first of the 
four numbers after "Color allocated is" is the colormap index.  

So, for the NWS images, use:

TRANSPARENT 0

and for Gerry's images:

TRANSPARENT 0xffff
