At this point, I am not even sure, if there is interesst from the 
Gnome side to do any colour management work inside CPD.
To add some background, rhughes belives in putting his CMS in parallel to 
the CUPS own CMS into CUPS server, as far as I have understood his posts.

The Oyranos project belives the CPD is the best place to do its work. 
It follows the idea to integrate user colour management on the client 
side and leave the CUPS vendor side CMS buisness to CUPS server.

IMO ArgyllCMS targets at profiling and a clean and simple path to install 
the generated profiles. The other interesst is to preserve a explicitely 
non colour managed print path for ink limiting, calibration and profiling. 
That remaining functional is very important to create useful ICC profiles.
