I could be wrong but I think this is only possible on Windows systems if
the
monitors are running on separate cards. If they are both on a single
dual
head card it can't be done (with the possible exception of matrox cards
which seem to have cleverer than average dual head drivers)

Not really all that satisfactory but - the quarto software permits a
reasonably useable set of color adjustment tweaks for the second monitor
with the single card 

Incidentally, it is possible to calibrate the primary monitor (each can
be defined as primary as desired - according to the control panel)  -and
then to tweak the chosen second monitor with the manual adjustments in
the nvidia control panel till they are an almost perfect match 

The advantages of side by side comparison with the same set of images on
each screen are obvious  - it does make it possible to achieve a pretty
high hand job match with only a mediocre operator such as I (but set
aside half an hour for the job). 

As most second monitors are used for menus etc it is not all that
important most of the time to have a perfect (whats that) calibration on
the second screen

When it comes down to it  - if you cant see the difference - there is no
difference  - the monitor is there to communicate with the eye not any
other device
