Containing fine tuned settings for some fonts.

Good idea!

The callbacks are to have an "auto" option (that would be default if
fontspec is loaded with microtypographic option) that would look into
a database of fine tuned settings and chose one for the font, instead
of having to select something like \setmainfont[Protrusion=TeX Gyre
Termes, Expansion =TeX Gyre Termes] {TeX Gyre Termes}, it would select
the settings automatically... Wdyt?

Thank you,
