Work great here, thanks. All the colord self tests pass with this installed.

Do you mean something like cmsSetHeaderProfileID?

Yes!

Less awesome. :( Whilst I really appreciate the "gift" of the fast
math plugin, if it was "LGPL v2+" I could unconditionally enable it in
colord. Obviously the L in the LGPLv2+ means it can be used in
non-free software (which is probably why you chose the * variant) but
it means it can be used by the animation studios and places like that.
I really don't want to come across ungrateful, as it's your gift to
give, not the receiver to set conditions.

Richard.
