I found issues with GCC 4 on a SuSE 10.1. Hartmut fixed these and they are 
now in the tarball and in CVS (with the usual delay). Version 0.7.0

Thanks for spotting this. I will include a working dcraw version and 
explain how to exchange against a newer one for user upgrades.

UFRaw is a good candidate. I added allready a feature request for it. One 
would have to make it compile as CinePaint plug-in and deliver 16-bit to 
CinePaint.
For the profiles I could take a look at. The plug-in could then be 
maintained by the UFRaw developers and a extra package can be included 
in a distribution. This seems best IMHO as I dont think the UFRaw 
developers will join the CinePaint project soon ;)
