[Openicc] Proof of concept, storing profile in X atoms

[Kai-Uwe Behrmann]

Wonderful,

it is the main reason I wanted to go to the next X meeting. Thus 
we can puzzle the parts beautiful together. I will try to look in png and 
jpeg embedded profile loading for eog if you like. Example code can be 
found in lcms for instance. Please go on with xicc.

regards
Kai-Uwe Behrmann
