Generating a spacer gif on the fly

[Max M]

Hi

I am writing an app where it would be practical to have a function that 
generates a spacer gif in a given color::

     def spacer(color=''):
         "Generates a 1x1 pixel gif with color, no color means transparent"

I have googled around for a solution, but didn't really find what I was 
looking for. There are many libraries which does this, but I find this 
to be overkille due to deployment issues. I have also found the GIF 
spec, which I will use to do it with. It will just take sooo long.

My guess is that it can be done by very simple means if you only know 
how. And I imagine that many has done something similar and has working 
code in a dungeon somewhere.

Does anybody care to share?
