ICC profiles aren't Postscript resources, nor are they directly usable
by Postscript. Really, the ICC profiles are accessed by the graphics
library, and are used by the graphics library for every language
interpreter we support (PS/PDF/PCL/PXL/XPS), so there is no sense in
which ICC profiles are "Postscript resources", which is what Resource/
is for.

Logically and practically, it makes no sense to have them under Resource/.

By default, we do assume that the ICC profiles are in a directory
adjacent to Resource/ but that is configurable.
