I'm not sure about this now, I mean we've have to specify the
CdIccLoadFlags each CdIcc isn't scanned fully by default. So far this
would mean:

void cd_icc_store_set_flags(CdIccLoadFlags)
bool cd_icc_store_scan(const char *location)
GPtrArray [of CdIcc*] cd_icc_get_all()
::added(CdIcc *)
::removed(CdIcc *)

Added, good catch:

Brilliant! I've posted this on G+ and we'll see what kind of feedback
we get. I know for a fact there are people running LXDE and XFCE that
want the colord stuff, so there should be some interest in polishing
and packaging this up for distros. [cough, tarball, cough] :)
