	I've found that ImageMagick can convert a CMYK TIFF into PDF quickly
and efficiently enough, but for some reason it says Helvetica is
embedded into the file regardless, even though looking at the file's
size compared to the original, it probably isn't really in there.

	Giving \selectcolormodel{cmyk} in the preamble seems to have converted
most of the PGF/TikZ graphics into CMYK, but for some reason, not all of
them -- it might be that the default color names in TikZ aren't defined
through xcolor, but derived ones like red!20 are, because all of those
definitely became CMYK while the bare "red", "blue" and "magenta" did not.
	I'm not sure if it affected the default text color, though.

	 Ow. That'd be bad, even though it's obviously a catch-all solution.
What kind of years since last upgrade should I hope for?
