Device link technology is completely ICC standard conform. There is no 
doubt.

Please, Cairo shall not parse ICC profiles and do colour conversions by 
its own. Thats up to libraries like lcms, ColorSync, WCS.

Colour conversions on linux are almost modular. No need to reinvent the 
wheel.

kind regards
