I made the plugin bit more friendly and uploaded it to the registry:

Still only works with Kuler palettes - it will probably choke on
palettes from Photoshop, AI, etc.  Good news is that *all* Kuler
palettes appear to be saved as RGB, so the colors translate straight
into GIMP.

Tested with 2.7 (svn) on Ubuntu and 2.6.1 on Win XP.  If anyone can
test on OS X that would be great.
