The LProf GUI profiling tool (http://lprof.sourceforge.net) allows you
to pick the corners of the chart interactively on an image, and visually
adjust the sizing of the sampling areas. It corrects for perspective
distortion though not pincushion.

I used this to profile my camera some time ago. It uses some version of
Argyll under the hood, so you may be able to use the GUI just to get a
.ti3 file out and then continue with your normal Argyll toolchain.
