Why not perform the RGB->CMYK conversion in a separate program? This
doesn't seem to need any information about the scene, so it doesn't
benefit from being implemented as a postprocess filter. OTOH, it needs
information about the output device, which povray doesn't (and
shouldn't) have (except for gamma correction).
