For those who haven't looked at the links, this is more about CMYK
colour support in cairo, which is generally tied with ICC support
since they touch the same parts of the API.

BTW, if it's really just CMYK pass-through you care about, there are
some simpler options. One could add a new type and use
cairo_surface_set_mime_data to pass in CMYK images as blobs which
could be passed through to the back end. Perhaps in some subset of
tiff.

There is a proposal here. I guess the next step is for someone to do a
test implementation.
