If you want to fade the entire screen, that's pretty easy.  Just sort a
transparent GsBOXF on top of everything else in your scene.  Change the
RGB parameters slowly from black to white.  If the transparency is set
to additive then this will fade to white.  If it's set to subtract then
it will fade to black.

You could StoreImage() the CLUT to a local array (do a DrawSync() to
make sure the transfer completed), fiddle with the CLUT to your heart's
content, and then LoadImage() it back to the same location.
