New description:

 C++ standards post C++11 do not support register keywords.
 LittleCMS 2 introduced the CMS_NO_REGISTER_KEYWORD

 The register keyword
 LittleCMS uses and requires C99, and this standard allows the use of
 ́register ́ keyword. Some compilers complain about this as being
 deprecated. Well, standards cannot be changed in retro- active way unless
 you have a time machine! But anyway, if you want to compile the code as
 C++14 or things like that, you can use the toggle CMS_NO_REGISTER_KEYWORD

 Would it be possible to get an option to disable it, or just disabled it
 by default by setting uncommenting the #define CMS_NO_REGISTER_KEYWORD 1
 in lcms2.h ?

 thanks
 Craig
