[Openicc] common ICC profile directory

[Kai-Uwe Behrmann]

Hi all,

going more public I think about a good location for ICC profiles under
*nix.

The one place should be good for many applications and environments.
Good transparency for networks and possibly osX conformity for better
migration between both oss are valuable requirements.
An option would be to go conform with SGI/Solaris. Only, I could not yet
figure out an standard path there.

I would prefere one directory for all profiles. An CMM can select the
correct profiles by the icProfileClassSignature. (Scribus and cinepaint
does it this way under linux and I have seen this kind for gui design
elsewhere too.)

/[opt,usr]/share/icc is what I would think at first.

X had some CMM before ICC stated its specs. I would not like to put
them simply together. As well paths including firm names are not intended
for an wider audience.

I hope for comments and suggestions.
Feel free to bring others in this discussion too.
