Hi,
nice.
An additional point is the name conflict with littleCMS about icclink. Can
you make the installation of icclink optional untill the issue might be
solved otherwise (like renaming)?
Greame,
would you consider taking these changes into your package and allow an
double build system? It would help accepting your package for
distributors on Linux.
Thanks for that great package.
regards
Kai-Uwe Behrmann
