Can you explain again how you did that? I really like it.

You need an old enough pnmtopng (new versions will just create regular
24bit+-alpha PNG for some reason; my pnmtopng.exe is dated 14.03.1996),
convert your picture to 8bit color +- 8bit alpha channel PNMs (where the
total number of color/alpha combinations isn't greater than 256), then use
pnmtopng to combine them back to PNG.
