The stuff walking from ICC Examin in to Oyranos is very pragmatically 
selected, like profile analysis and creation. Unfortunedly the requested 
OpenGL widget is a bit close interwoven with the remainder of the 
application. It deploys a FLTK derived class design. I will put an eye on 
sorting out dependencies and C++ specifics.

Beside a gamut hull display, would'nt it make sense to keep the 
remainder in one core project? I am not shure how much work it would be to 
wrap a application like ICC Examin into several toolkit cloats.

What you could use now is to continually write a modified profile to a 
file and observe the changes in ICC Examin. This is how the 3D colour view 
in CinePaint works. Would this be of help?
