Thanks but something doesn't work. I tried to use it as explained to get
line going through 10,0 and 90,100 points but in with -d option I get
line going through 0,50 and 50,100 with output: 1,000*u+0,000

Somewhere is typo: in my docs distributed with IM 6.3.0-3 in docs is
option called "sigmoidal-contrast". Also this whole trick is to *avoid*
contrast change. As explained in tutorial operating on HSB changes
contrast, but in L*a*b* it doesn't happen.
