Color_trc comparison for OSX

This is comparing a png file written with different ICC profiles (i.e. the underlying data is identical in all png files), and comparing it to mp4's where the only change is the -color_trc flag setting, along with mov files with different gamma values. The code to generate these files is here. You can reorder the wedges to help with comparison by drag and drop.
