Description
need to render graphics based on custom ICC profile and it does not seem like inkscape supports color profile rendering (only adding color profile metadata to SVG's which is trivial for svgen to do if that's all that's needed for a different user agent like gimp to render translated colors)

Research direction
Start by locating the rendering path and how Inkscape is invoked. Investigate the requirements for using GIMP with a custom ICC profile and determine how the renderer choice should be exposed. Done means users can select GIMP instead of Inkscape and obtain correctly color-managed output without breaking existing rendering.
