Inthe end the whole project is not small. But I think we break it into smaller portions. Code for window colour management will be useable as well on windows. For osX is mor work needed later on.

Then we need an additional project to render in various OS CMS'es.
But I think some projects have already code for doing cross platform
colour correction, inclusive CMS access.
