palette_force and quantize_force are mutually exclusive, in the sense
that only one of them is applied (depending on which comes first in
the mapserver code)
* quantize_force is more flexible as it doesn't need to create a
palette beforehand, but different colors can be seen from one map to
another depending on the extent
* palette_force produces more consistent results colorwise but a
palette file has to be created beforehand. I'd recommend creating a
palette with exactly 256 colors in it if you're looking for rendering
speed, or with just the exact colors of your features if you're
looking for rendering quality.
