QTR-Quadtone RIP

Jamie
The X Y Z values are not needed. To quote Roy's announcement of the release
of the latest QTR, all you need are:

----------------
Updates for QTR-Create-ICC tool:

It now supports color softproofing -- works but highlights are slighty too
saturated fixes are in progress.
Supports a more general data input file.  Anything columnar, looks for
column headings of:
GRAY
L, LAB, LAB_L, A, LAB_A, B, LAB_B
D, DENSITY, V, VISUAL
----------------

I would be surprised if you needed anything different for
QTR-Linearize-data.
