Pardon my ignorance, but couldn't you just photograph Gretag's DC Color
Checker chart (pigments, not photographic dyes), scan the resulting chrome
and then simply profile this "as if" it was digital camera? I realize you'd
actually be profiling a *process* but assuming you use the same film, the
processing is stable, exposure/lighting color temp is consistent, it seems
you'd at least have a better starting point than the shoot/reshoot,
scan/rescan method.

I think the DC Color Checker chart would effectively give you this.
