There is info here on quad profiles if you search the archives, look 
for Dan Culbertson's posts. Since profiles are generally intended for 
correcting color, the resulting profile will not be one you can print 
through and get adequate quad results. It's usefulness is primarily to 
preview through while working on or applying separation curves. Also, 
since the software expects to see and measure color, it may choke on 
trying to deal with a chart full of grays.
Pofiler RGB will actually produce a profile, but the jury is still out 
on how good it is. I don't know if anyone here has tried WiziWIG. 
Profiler Pro seems to be successful for RGB profiles, but much more 
money particularly when you add the photospectrometer.
One profile point I don't think has been mentioned-
You can print through a quad profile, and it may be very linear, but 
won't be separated properly to minimize dots since that has nothing to 
do with correcting color.
