[Openicc] Open Source compatible AdobeRGB profile

[Kai-Uwe Behrmann]

Ann,

I have not much experience/support for v4 currently. I would start with v2 
and orient on the hex values as described in the specification:
http://www.adobe.com/digitalimag/pdfs/AdobeRGB1998.pdf

Thanks as well for the hints in your other email.

regards
