[argyllcms] Use of calibrated display to profile digital camera

Hi all!

I am aware that it is not usually recommended to use IT8 targets for
preparation of ICC camera profiles for colour rendering of real scenes.
Since one of the reasons is smaller gamut of IT8, I thought about use of
a calibrated and profiled display (supporting near to Adobe RGB colour
space). I did some research with Google and found that this is already
patented in the USA: http://www.patentstorm.us/patents/6654493.html

Have anyone tried to use calibrated and profiled display to create a
profile for digital camera and got good results? Would it make sense
considering low-end display calibration tools (Eye One II, Huey)?

P.S. At the moment, I use ICC profile in UFRaw (linux) based on IT8
target, since it usually gives me better results than other alternatives
(no profile, colour matrix, profiles from RAW converter by Canon).
