[Openicc] CPD and Color Management ICC dictType Metadata Registry

[Jan-Peter Homann]

Hello list,
The ICC offers a dictType Metadata Registry see more at:
http://www.color.org/registry/metadata/index.xalter

The complete definition can be found here:
http://www.color.org/ICCSpecRevision_25-02-10_dictType.pdf

It is possible to enhance the dictType with additional entries wich will 
be rgisterred later by the ICC.
This would allow e.g. to create an entry with the complete Gutenprint setup.

best regards
Jan-Peter
