Yes, the 1.1 version that I think you tried was limited to
CMYK, but the new 2.0 version controls 4,6, or 7 inks and
uses full 16bit curves.  I think the best thing is that I've
got automatic partitioning that works very well -- no need 
to work on going from light grays to dark grays.  You do
get to shape the final overall curve if you like though.

I did post about it a couple of weeks ago, but you may have 
missed it.  I'm still doing little tweaks but the guts works
just fine.
