The GIMP developers do not what to be dependant on a SPECIFIC CMS library like 
lcms.  No matter what they do to get color management they will need to use 
someones CMS libraries.  They are doing this to make it possible to run GIMP 
on the widest possible set of platforms.  So on Windows they might use the 
Windows supplied CMS engine and on Linux they might use lcms or Argyllcms.  
But the only other alternative would be to implement their own.  I don't 
think they would even consider doing that since lcms is a very good CMS 
engine.
