Right now I have to support at least colord 0.1.21 which is in Debian
testing. I recently bumped version requirements to 0.1.31 from Debian
experimental. However, right now colord 1.0.1 appeared in Debian sid, so
I think I'll be able to drop direct lcms2 usage in the nearest future
and assume that everybody uses at least 1.0.0. I really want to drop
direct dependency on lcms2 and use CdIcc instead but I can't right now.

Another thing that required some copy&paste was ~/.local/share/icc stuff
(icc-storage-private.c) but I'm not sure if sharing it is really a good
idea. Probably something like filename generation function would be useful.

I think about splitting xiccd in two separate parts in the future. One
for file handling only and one for XRandR only. Or maybe just command
line options for that.
