This code implements a Macintosh MDEF for selecting a color. The user is
presented with a matrix of color chips to select from.

Each menu item represents a color to be displayed. It should be a 12 byte
string of the form:
RRRRGGGGBBBB
where RRRR, GGGG, and BBBB are hex numbers (as ASCII text).

So, the color black would be:
"\pFFFFFFFFFFFF"

the color green would be:
"\p0000FFFF0000"

The current color is, by definition, the menu item that has a mark. So, you
should only set a mark (any value) for one item at time.

Reference the sample app for an example usage.

Unlimited use is hereby granted without restriction. However, the author
would appreciate credit if possible.
