That is what the current color management infrastructure does. So far no one has ever expressed any interest in implementing a native backend though. So I guess we better abandon that idea and just use lcms for all platforms. Would be a lot easier if lcms could be used in the core and if we wouldn't have to create some sort of abstraction layer that fits all color management backends. But then we might run into trouble when cairo gets color management capabilities. Currently display color management is totally broken in trunk, so we need to find a way out of this anway...
