	IM/GM do support CMYK data for images, but not all operations 
are supported in CMYK mode - for example, I think compositing is one 
of them :(.  I believe the IM/GM will convert to RGB before 
performing a composite...(but you should probably check the code).

	However, do you need a different algorithm for compositing in 
different color models - to some extent, yes, but not for most 
things.  Simple compositing should work the same regardless of model 
- but when you get into unusual modes (any that require doing the 
operation in HSB, for example), then yes, you need to treat CMYK 
different from RGB.
