I assumed this when reading Charles Poynton's GammaFAQ and some other
UNIX resources some time ago: As gamma usually 1/0.45 and 0.45 are
assumed (1/0.45 == 2.22222). Maybe that's the reason for this "system
gamma" as I named it, that one must take into account and then the
2.20 of Win32 should be 2.222 as well.

We'd have to doublecheck with the other profile loaders again - but
I'm sure they give slightly different results and we can never find
out whether it's 2.20 or 2.22 on Win32 or Linux ...
