For some interpretations of this dengerous oxygen deprivation, you can
stop now. Support has been added to both babl and GEGL to handle CMYK
images - which can be be used and tested on the commandline - and used
in the experimental alternative GUIs for GEGL that are in git. If
someone hooks this code up to GIMP I will be diverting some more of my
already thinly stretched attention back to the CMYK code in babl and
GEGL to make it fast as well. :)
