Yes, exactly.
Currently, when there is no camera development available or the user
selects "Shotwell" as their developer, the program uses libraw to do
the development and produces a jpeg. So, most of the infrastructure is
already in place. We (or rather, the shotwell devs :P) would basically
add a third option ("external developer" or something) and have
shotwell do what you describe.

I didn't know that. Cool. This means adding this feature to shotwell
would be A Good Thing, even if rawstudio isn't compatible (yet).
The commandline I implemented for rawstudio currently only supports
the --output command, but this works exactly the same. If the patch is
accepted, I intend to add the other options, and will try to keep it
ufraw-compatible. Thanks for the pointer.
