[argyllcms] DIY colorimeter

Hello Graeme,

Don't know if you remember, I asked some months ago about support in Argyll 
for the HCFR colorimeter, a french project designed to do video-projectors 
calibration (http://www.homecinema-fr.com/colorimetre). One problem was 
doing the hardware.

There where a common order (about 400 people), and I ordered two 
colorimeters. I would like to send one (fully assembled) to you, as you 
where interested in such DIY project. Source code of the original french 
software (and driver for the hardware) is not yet public; developpers are 
waiting for the 1.0 release, which sould come soon. About the driver, a 
developper said to me that this is a simple serial-over-usb protocol, so 
very simple to implement.

This colorimeter does not give absolute values; it has to be calibrated 
too! I don't know exactly how they do that, but I think it could be done 
using a real one, like DTP92/94. It could be interesting to find a way to 
do that without other instrument...

Anyway, the aim of all this is to connect two projects pointing to the same 
direction: Argyll (free software), and HCFR (free hardware). I'm sure both 
projects could benefit from each other; sending to you a colorimeter is my 
contribution for all you guys are doing for the community.

So, could you send me (in private) an address where I can post the 
colorimeter? I should receive it at the end of september, so you will 
receive it a few days laters.
