Is this not where TTL scores - it will cut your flash and use the
opposition's? You may still get incorrect exposure but it will not be
so bad as if you got the whole double burst.

Downloaded the pixmantec RAWshooter.
On paper, it seemed good. Support for *istDS and has an eyedropper tool
for grey/white balance. And version 1.0 is 100% free.
But it seems to have a problem reading DS-flavoured PEFs; they are

Great shot Paul, those eyes!

It looks to me as though the next thing to come is a high-pixel-count

Then we'll probably see a follow-on model or two for the existing *ist-D
