Indeed!  I suspect that, as so very often, you've started the subthread
that will lead to the eventual solution :-)

That may be a big problem from the big picture, "world domination" point
of view.  It is not a problem for me since dcraw (and ufraw which uses
dcraw code for the initial import) recognizes the native formats of both
my cameras, as well as DNG which one of them can be prodded to output.
So my problem really is just finding a tool that can efficiently edit a
normal format (tiff or ppm) but at 16 bit depth.
