Actually, I don't think it's a good idea for the moment, as the code is under
heavy development. I was just looking for volunteers :)

Right, I suspected it. I think I will go for the preprocessors then.

The main reason is that GIMP is going to use babl and when it does I think it
would be silly to use yet another library and convert back and forth. A minor
reason is that I didn't know about lcms ;)

Yes, there's a loooong ongoing discussion in GIMP about including native CYMK
support (there are some circumstances under which doing the conversion leads to
problems).
Anyway, support for different color models was mainly intended for Imagemagick
(which supports CYMK and uses liblqr, too), but since I had to include support
for another color model I thought it would be nice to generalise as much as
possible.
