That is very display specific. We could license a library for that,  
and pass the cost on to the end users, but it would not be cheap.  
Would each of you be willing to pay, say, a hundred bucks extra, to  
avoid the twiddling?

I asked the question because I believe the "other" calibrator vendor advertises they do the twiddling electronically for their Mac version. I assumed they used EDID I2C channel for that.

Screen Display (OSD) in the display's menu to adjust.
