Pantone themselves sold a product that would do this (give CIE values
for each Pantone color) called ColorDrive.
Unfortunately they seem to have take a giant leap backwards
and no longer sell ColorDrive.
Xrite sell a comparable product called Colorshop. Both have spectral
libraries for each Pantone color, so in principle the CIE values can be
computed for any light source or observer you like.
