What do you use to process the Bayer pattern CCD data?

For those that don't know, when you get raw data from a Bayer patterned CCD
camera, you typically get only one of the three color values per "data
point" (it's not really a pixel in the sense of a typical pixel...which will
have all three colors, for a color pixel that is)...and that needs to be
processed to resolve the color information from individual color data to
full pixel color values, which will then contain all three colors.  That
typically happens in the camera, but some people prefer using external (to
the camera) programs, as they feel these programs give them better results.
