If I have the source code I should be able to figure out which function calls deal with that library, and I should be able to dynamically load the Xara binary and call those functions since I know the prototypes from the source code, and if I used the same tool chain. Could we get Pantone support? Users would have to buy the full version of Xara to get it, but for most people who need Pantone, that wouldn't be a big deal.

Probably a better solution is to convince Xara to break their color management out into a GPL'd library.

I think the best approach would be to work on an Open color matching standard. I think there is a project around that aims to do that, too.
