Cool.  Must have been a good idea I had then. ;)

Yeah, I don't know anything about that.  There's got to be a way to generate one.  I'm sure it's not this simple, but:  take a calibrated scanner/monitor, make up some sort of test page, print it up, scan it and use the diff between the original and the printed output to create the profile?  Could one of the tools in the lcms package be used to generate this, or some the lcms code be canibalized to a new purpose?
