I sent an email to DDL prior to the release of 3.0 that colord would
be a dep for gnome-color-manager in GNOME 3.2. Nobody at all
complained. I've repeatedly asked people to package it, and since LGM
it's been appearing in other distros slowly. It's not on
ThreePointTwoExternalDependencies wiki page as I can't see that one
exists yet.

The quieten everybody down, colord compiles just fine on the BSD's and
on Solaris, although without xrandr, udev and sane integration, it
doesn't really do anything interesting at all. :-)
