I'm not sure how profiling packages deal with two monitors. If they're the
same, then it ought to be possible for the software to build lookup tables
for the video card that take out any residual differences, at which point
one profile would work equally for both. It would definitely take some sort
of explicit dual-monitor support in the profiling software, I would think.
