The latest GM 1.3 development snapshot (1.3.020080701) now supports 
loading common raw camera photos as if they were native without having 
the prefix the file name with "dcraw:". This makes it handy for 
indexing photos.  Dcraw is used as before (rather than more 
sophisticated, less portable, software like UFRaw).  I tested it with 
output from many different camera types and it works great.

At the moment 'dcraw' is executed with bare-bones options.  The 
options could be updated to produce linear 16-bit output or use 
different interpolation options.  Advice from experts is appreciated.

Many of the formats are variants of TIFF so prefixing the file name 
with "TIFF:" obtains a thumbnail rather than the full size image.
