Yeah - see below.

Okay, I'm not really trying to do proofing. I'm trying to do the image 
profile -> working space -> monitor space in one step. Technically, I 
should probably be doing file profile->working profile during load, then 
working -> monitor during display, but I thought I'd just save a step 
and do it all at once.

Should I be using cmsCreateMultipleProfileTransform() instead, or really 
break it down into two separate transforms, one during load and one 
during display?
