Nevermind, I found the schematic on their wordpress blog. I think I've 
got them beat -- how about hardware-level switching between 18b and 24b 
color, using a single GPIO pin? <g>

Don't worry about Olimex, my idea uses different buffer chips, in a 
different way, and the buffer scheme is really the only part of the 
design that they "own" (if at all -- there's no license info or anything 
on the blog post...) so I think we should be in the clear there.

I'll have schematics up in a bit...
