I work as a color consultant... profile building is sometimes part of that 
process. For list members who wish to try a custom profile or two before 
getting a spectro of their own, or who are not sure they want to make that 
kind of investment, I can build profiles as a standalone process. I have been 
charging $80 each, and will continue to do so, unless the demand outstrips my 
willingness to lose money while performing rote labor. <G> There is the added 
advantage of such a profile being truely custom to your printer, setup, 
paper, and inkset, in addition to the legitimacy factor...

For the Small Gamut inks it possible to build actual use profiles. For other 
B&W processes I would assume that it would only be possible to use them for 
preview and curve building purposes. As I suggested before, its on the end 
users head to decide if renting my services are a good idea... I make no 
guarantees for this type of bleeding edge situation.
