It is quite easy to do this conversion, since lcms does include
a utility to apply profiles on TIFF. It also handles embedded profiles.
 If you downloaded ver 1.08, check the tifficc sample. ('make tifficc'
will build it) You will need libtiff to build the program, but is likely
you have libtiff already installed.

For the GIMP, there is also a plugin for color management
using lcms, http://www.freecolormanagement.com

Hope this helps
