As far as *I* remember this is not a trivial task.

And where should it be installed? Into the pdfx directory or 
	texmf-dist/tex/generic/icc
maybe?

I think this is an important question and one that *I* cannot answer,
but I guess it makes lot of difference. I used icc profiles paired with

the scan wasn't really nice at times.
