Sure.  I think we need to replace deutex, really. There's a small risk
that one day, Freedoom's palette might differ from Doom's, in which case
we'll introduce subtle differences/problems by relying on it. But Doom's
palette is not copyrightable; once derived from the commercial data such
a table could be freely distributed.  And a deutex-like tool that had 
such a table in it and didn't depend on the IWAD for manipulating PWADs
would be great. (+one with PNG support/default to PNG and various other
quirks and DOSisms removed :))
