IC is not related to POV-Ray in any way and it is not a 'target app' for 
anything.
It just happens that it is accurate for the image formats it supports 
because it's original back-end-library was designed for the use in the 
medical sector where this might even be a matter of life and death.

Which reminds me that I'm using a much improved version of IC by myself 
and really should make it available for download - but as I did already 
point out somewhere else: I'm lazy!
But I did post a test-pattern for you to p.b.i.
