[argyllcms] How is delta E calculated in colprof?

Hello,

I have calculated delta E 2000 from the colprof output (option -y) in a 
spreadsheet and with Bruce Lindbloom's web-based calculator:

http://www.ece.rochester.edu/~gsharma/ciede2000/dataNprograms/CIEDE2000.xls

http://www.brucelindbloom.com/index.html?ColorDifferenceCalcHelp.html

Both of the above are consistent but colprof's delta E values are different and 
do not match DE76 and DE94 either.

Which delta E is colprof reporting? The documentation states only that "a 
summary of the average and maximum Lab delta E's will be printed out if this 
flag [-y] is set".

Is colprof applying any weighting to the DE00 calculation: KL, KC, KH not equal 
to 1.0?

Stephen.
