Microphones have their own unique response characteristics. In order to do something like what you're talking about, you'd have to use a pretty expensive microphone. Also, the software would have to be pre-calibrated to that specific mic so that it could compensate for its idiosyncracies.

I did think of this, which is why the microphone I'm looking at getting (the M31 from www.linearx.com) comes with a floppy disk with all the information about its response you need for compensation. They're the only company I've seen which provides this kind of information. Usually you'll find it's all integrated into a DSP in the back end of the mic, which is a less accurate and more expensive method than just doing it in your measurement software.
