[argyllcms] Icclink does not honor rendering intent specification

Maybe it's me but I used the following to link two profiles together
(WinXP):

icclink -v -ir -or profileA.icc profileB.icc devLink.icc

I got the following output:

> Got options
> Input total ink limit assumed is 320%
> Configured options
> Loading input A2B table
> Loading output B2A table
> No explicit curve on output profile
> Gamut mapping mode is 'Simple'
> Creating link profile
> Filling in Lut table
> 100%
> Writing out file

I'm linking a CMYK proofer profile and a monitor RGB profile.

When I view the resulting profile with ICC Profile Inspector, there are
6 tags in all in the profile: desc, cprt, pseq, clrt, clot and A2B0.

I am puzzled as I believe I have requested RelativeColorimetric in the
rendering intent. But the presence of A2B0 suggests I am not getting
RelCol? I was expecting A2B1, not A2B0. I was also expecting the Intent
tag in the profile header to read "Relative", but it's reading
"Perceptual".

How do I know I really got what I want out of icclink?
