You contradict yourself. Perfection or approximation, pick one...only an 
approximation is possible though.
You want to find the RGB values that would mimic monochrome light of a 
specific wavelength? There are no includes that do this that I know of. 
You could find the sensitivity curves of typical human eyes, and work up 
a macro that uses a spline generated from these curves.

Some sites which might be useful:

BTW, what do you want this for? I can't think of many uses for this, 
except as a part of a system for converting spectral data to RGB.
