My lazyness :-). Anyway they are not so frequent. This comes from pre-ICC age, 
and AFAIK there are very few TIFF readers supporting that. Today is easier just
embed the corresponding ICC profile. It takes same disk space and many apps 
honors the profile. I will try to add the code for 1.14. Do you have any  
samples of such TIFFs? Just to make sure it works as expected...

Well, lcms does use kTRC on gray profiles, this is how they work. The gamma 
should be 1.0 in that case. But then the input profile should be marked as
monochrome, not RGB.
