I don't know how one is meant to find this, as it isn't on
the SourceForge download page!

I got a lot further with this, but the bit that I was particularly
interested in, still didn't build properly:

src/backends/ini:

         then mv -f ".deps/libelektra_ini_a-ini.Tpo" ".deps/libelektra_ini_a-ini.Po"; else rm -f ".deps/libelektra_ini_a-ini.Tpo"; exit 1; fi

Perhaps it's not supported/maintained.

Right, but Argyll's dispwin is cross platform, loads the display calibration,
and has a convenient way of identifying Xinerama displays by choosing from
an enumeration, rather than an x,y location. I was also contemplating
writing a small daemon that would be triggered by Xrandr events that would then
install the correct calibration and profile in the X11 server whenever a monitor
is plugged in.
