QTR-Quadtone RIP

Hi Joost and Jamie,

I'm not sure what all the questions are.   Msg 3309 looks more like a 
request
for a color RIP.   But I have been thinking about more curves and more 
ways
to blend them.  This seems like a very reasonable idea.   It's mostly a 
complication
in the user interface -- fitting it all in.

I took a brief look at your UT3D curves.   In general they look 
reasonable but how
they perform for what you want is the main factor.  I wasn't sure if 
you had customized
the inks at all -- especially the Y toner.
