If CMYK is the only (?) drawback to GIMP, How hard can it be to implement?

E.g. if you have an RGB bitmap, how easily could it be transformed into a 
CMYK bitmap (or bitmaps for each of the colours)?

(Is it true that there are some patent/rights tied up with CMYK and 
printing these?)

Cheers, Rod.

(Must be a dumb question or else it would already be implemented, right?)
