OK. So the user *does* want post conversion of the CMYK, but with the
simplistic CMYK assumed as the input color space. Thanks for the
clarification.

Please go ahead and commit your new color space as TrivialCMYK.

The DETAILS should contain explanation of the method/algorithm, design
choices made, and limitations. We don't want general 'rants' in the
CVS log at all.

The place for general comments is in an email to gs-devel or gs-code-review,
or even Comments against the bug, but not in the cvs log. Since all of
the mailing lists are archived and the bug tracker comments are retained,
the general comments (or "rants") don't need to be in CVS log messages in
order to not be lost.
