yes, provided by your camera maker and published with your camera win32 
application.

For me, when i have built my Dynax 5D, i have just installed the Minolta 
DImage program on a win32 computer, get the icc files installed on the system 
and copied all in my linux box. All work fine like this and i'm sure that 
Canon, Nikon, and others major camera maker provide this ICC files.

For others questions, i lets Paco (F.J Cruz) given a response (He is the 
digiKam Color management specialist (:=)))
