Color spaces

Hey Chris,

I wonder if you would be interested in seeing more color space

+1 on more color conversions!

LMS is definitely interesting. We also have some code around to reproduce
other human-like color spaces (e.g. opponent space from Itti & Walther, see
Walther's PhD Thesis, Appendix A.2 http://bit.ly/deN6iU), as well as all the
color spaces used in Geusebroek & van de Sande (as in http://bit.ly/bKg9nBor
http://bit.ly/bYLF21). Would you be interested in these? I'll be happy to
add them too.

Please feel free to contribute any color space you'd like, possibly using
Cython if you need speed.

Thanks.

Cheers,

N
