Hi Hans.
lcms2 was released on 8. May 2010 lcms v1 is on the way to be phased out in the newest distribution versions.
Are there any distributions that have released without v1?
I don't know, but Ubuntu has a bug for replacing lcms v1.
There is no reason, that Wine is the last app, which depends on lcms v1.
For most apps it will be a matter of adding a configure check for lcms2 and then recompiling. This is not the case for Wine as you have pointed out.
At this point there's probably still a substantial number of users on distributions that don't include lcms2, and trying to support both doesn't make the source any prettier.
So it doesn't seem unreasonable to wait a little longer.
