   The gimp-print/guten-print plug-in is developed by different people
   and is not at all coupled to the GIMP release cycles. We should
   however consider to make the print plug-in that's being shipped
   with GIMP aware of the image's color profile.

I'd like to see the code that does this, so that the Gutenprint plugin
can if possible do the same thing.
