[Openicc] What is exactly needed for color management ... driver setup PPD

[Max Derhak]

The Metadata's tag is a dict tag type which is limited to representing
data strings with a 32 bit length.  Therefore a 1 meg or so dict entry
shouldn't be a problem.

Just make sure the value can be arbitrarily large, so that we can pass
a serialized Gutenprint settings object through this.  That settings
object might include LUTs for each channel, with up to 65536 values
per channel expressed in text format floating point number.  In other
words, a limit of less than a megabyte or thereabouts could get us
into trouble, and once it's that large, you might as well forget about
limits.
