Agreed. libXcolor is a completely different thing from a service like the 
color plug-in, which deployes the net-color spec.

We will see. Anyway, compiz is one distributed platform for hardware 
accelerated desktop colour management. Compiz is still a good playground.

After having looked at an other git demo, I am not any more shure to need 
write access. A simple pull could bring us in sync and we can keep things 
distributed. I will therefore place my libXcolor repository into the net 
and send you the link.
