then your friend already has (probably a cut down version of) silkypix ?

depending where he bought his camera he might be able to upgrade it ?
Upgrade Silkypix SE
but be quick - the Uk distributor is closing down at the end of 2010 and support reverts back to ISL in japan
SILKYPIX Developer Studio -- For beautiful photos.
also the main ISL site says "Customers who already own some of our company's merchandise may request a special price. Please enter the serial number of the merchandise you own. "
Error
see the special campaign price box at top left
[Edit : the above link doesn't seem to stay live and now shows "error", instead go to
http://www.isl.co.jp/SILKYPIX_NEWSITE/english/index.html, and click on "shop" and you'll get to the same place]
Note dpreview at the LX3 review says "SilkyPix isn't the best tool for processing large numbers of files in a single sitting (though there is a batch conversion tool if you want identical setting for multiple images) ...."
dpreview are wrong - Silkypix DSPro CAN do batch conversion of multiple files with completeley different development settings for different file, I've done it myself. I don't have time to check if DS4 can do this but I would expect it to. - althought it might be true of the SE version which if memory serves me well is often what is bundled.
