RawTherapee is very interesting project, but.... take look into LibRaw's long
TODO list (http://www.libraw.org/about#todo).

The LibRaw's postprocessing stage (entirely derived from dcraw) is included
into the library just because it is *free* (already included in dcraw and we're
automatically make some LibRaw's sources from dcraw.c).

There is no plans to improve/change this postprocessing stage much *within*
LibRaw project. LibRaw's goal is to provide RAW data accessible for raw
converters/analyzers/etc developers without the exact knowlege about particular
format, camera firmware version etc.

Yes, digiKam uses our postprocessing calls. But most of LibRaw users are not.

Another problem is RawTherapee licensing. It licensed under GPLv3. We've
started with GPL3 two years ago, than switched to GPL2, than to LGPL2 (for
LibRaw Lite). We're planning to switch to something Apache-style (only
copyright notice in derived works) because GPL/LGPL licenses are really
show-stoppers for many users.
So, no GPLv3 code in LibRaw, thanks.
