I think that it is worth noting that Canon bundle software that corrects distortion, vignetting and TCA - for their own recognised lenses.
I recently upgraded to a 500D from a 350D and, naturally, Adobe Camera Raw CS2 did not play with the new raw.CR2 files. When I looked at Canon's bundled apps (Digital Photo Professional), I was impressed with the raw facilities but also pleased to find that it did a very good job on the three basic corrections. I don't want to press proprietory solutions but, if you've bought the kit, take a good look at what you've got. You can sort the basic corrections, properly and every time; before even thinking about lens.info files, vignetting correction (surely only a problem with low-light photography) and those rare occassions when Chromatic Aberration intrudes. My experience of PTLens was that it didn't seem to bear any correspondence to my own experience. It is dead easy to work out your own lens distortion corrections. Vignetting and Chromatic Aberration only cause problems in limited cases, and are easily dealt with by H. I'm not sure that a database would prove to be particularly useful.
