I might be able to add a dtp94 driver

We should know how to identify profiles and which quality criteria apply.
After all it should start as a optional mechanism. I have good 
experiences made with my own canned profiles.

Explicite user settings should always override the canned profiles.

Its a spinable 3D view. The last years project was only inspired by 
ICC Examin and completely rewritten in C. I think it would fit GCM very 
well. We can request the 3D view as the first part to code. This code 
would as well integrate into other settings panels.
