Apple has a fairly clean interface under Quartz for interfacing to calibration
software, see
<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/GraphicsImaging/Reference/Quartz_Services_Ref/index.html>.

It's unclear whether it wraps things like DDC though (it would be good if it did, rather
than forcing every piece of calibration software to have to reinvent the wheel.)

The OSX display profile setting uses ColorSync (of course - see
<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/GraphicsImaging/Reference/ColorSync_Manager/colorsync_mgr_ref/function_group_4.html>
).

It would be nice to see any X11 solution be at least as clean as this.
