	x-colors
Date: Fri, 26 Mar 2010 19:25:30 -0700

There are differences in spelling between color-name-rgb-alist and x-colors:

Things like:

ghostwhite -> ghost white

mistyrose1 -> MistyRose1

this results in wasting pure storage for allocating both versions.

I think these are looked up, so removing the spelling variations would
make stuff fail.  So this isn't a bug, I think.
