This should probably not be a per-plugin parameter, though; color space
should be part of the API (and it should be at the caller's discretion to
choose, not the plugin -- it wouldn't be an unreasonable demand to have all
inputs' color spaces be equal to the output color space, though).

What to do about non-colorspace aware plugins that need to mess with pixels
is an open question; they should probably be marked as such. You could maybe
argue that Frei0r should convert to/from sRGB around the plugin, but I doubt
it's worth it.
