If you take a look in the icclib source (http://www.argyllcms.com/icclibsrc.html),
you'll find the functions icmLab2XYZ() and icmXYZ2Lab(), that pretty
straight forwardly implement L*a*b* conversions. If you're not
familiar with color science to some degree though, this won't
take you far, since the next set of questions will be
about how to convert to/from XYZ, and what the white point is :-)
