Yes, I know about this (I've read some posts about your work). At this time, 
I'm using Cine Paint (aka gimp film) to apply icc/icm profiles to my images 
(tiff and jpeg formats only, my camera is a cheap one :-(). One question, do 
you know that DImage could be a trademark of Konica-Minolta?, my camera is a 
Minolta DImage S414. 

I'm not a expert programer, but if you think I can help you, drop me an email.

So, I want to know more opinions about this, it's stupid does the same work
