Enblend already supports color profiles if there are profiles in the files 
going to enblend.  I suspect that you could have a look at the enblend code 
and know the answer to at least how this is handled with TIFF files.  Also 
ImageMagick will has a utility to add, delete or apply color profiles to 
images (convert profile ...) and this should have code for embedding profiles 
into just about any image file type that support color profiles.  You might 
have a look at its code.
