Dcraw, the ANSI C program written by Dave Coffin, has the goal to decode any
RAW image from any camera on any computer. Indeed, the program can be compiled
for every Operating System, so one could say that dcraw is most versatile cross platform RAW decoding program out there.
Dave has told us that the program, in its soon to be released version 7.0, will not just add the support of DNG files, but be completely redesigned around the DNG format. This will mean more accurate colors, better white balance, etc.
Although Dcraw uses a command line interface, its code is used in many programs
using a GUI (Graphical User Interface), so after the official release of Dcraw 7.0,
the number of programs being able to open a DNG will greatly increase.

official announcement.
