Absolutely - none of this is intended as a criticism of your decision to
use JAM...
Again it's all trade-offs. I went for making it as bullet proof as
possible,
rather than letting people scratch around finding the right
dependencies. It does make for duplication though. When I note the
difficulties people have building gimp on MSWindows, I think I made
the right decision.
I'm with you on the Win32 GIMP build. I'd love to be able to build my
Separate plugin on Win32, but I just don't have the time to get
everything together. GIMP does have some very demanding dependencies too...
But of course one of the features of open source, is that people can
cook it up the way they want it.
Indeed. My hope is that an autotools version will make it far easier to
fold Argyll into Linux (or BSD for that matter) distributions...

That's fair enough - I've already said I'll maintain it.
I'll update it to reflect the changes that have already been suggested,
and then we can look in more details at any renaming that might be
neccessary...
All the best,
