Displaying raw-like in-camera histogram

See http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=null&message=26534648

In the meantime someone came up with a better idea of creating s shot for WB template; it is so simple, that I am ashamed to have to be told this:

make a totally burnt out shot, but really totally, and keep that on the CF card and use it for WB preset.

My own extentions:

1. do this in ISO 200,

2. make the file non-erasable.

And, again: WB is not enough; contrast = 0, saturation = 0, tone = 0 (these settings are at the middle ) and sharpness = 0 (this is at the left end).

Since I have been using it, I alway get a perfect ETTR. However, this is not a recipe for that, but a verification ; I make a shot, check the histogram, adjust, make another shot, etc. (if it is really important).
