[Image-SIG] [raclette] PyCMS now part of PIL

[Kevin Cazabon]

Thanks for the hard work on upgrading and integrating this Fredrik -  
I've been following your changes and it seems like quite a significant  
amount of work on your end to clean it up and streamline things.  I'm  
looking forward to playing with the in-memory profile reading, along  
with the embedded profile reading that other SIG members have been  
working on.  Having CMS in PIL will be yet another formidable tool for  
PIL and adoption in high-end applications.

In any case, I'm proud to contribute pyCMS - although it's really just  
a wrapper around Marti Maria's harder work on the LittleCMS library  
itself.

Kevin.
