[poppler] lcms usage in poppler

[Thomas Freitag]

Hello Leonard!

There is at least one point I'm missing:
1. The PDF spec says that the default rendering intent is 
RelativeColormetric
2. The explanation in the 070-072_ReadMe_Ghent_Output_Patch.pdf says 
that the crosses should be rendered with Perceptual rendering
But what inside the patch tests says that not the default, but the 
Preceptual rendering intent should be used? I haven't found any 
rendering intent parameters in the patches. Does GTS_PDFX as subtype 
and/or the ICC profile ine OutputIntents directory forces this?

Thanks for any help,
Thomas
