I am looking at a simpler process.
I'm sure everyone has a flash slave?
I am thinking that if you had an old flash that you did not care about, just pop the shoe connector off the flash (i.e. canabalize it) and hook up the slave to the shutter release plug on the camera. You might even be able to make this as an IR trigger.
I will look into it a little more, just to make sure the polarity is right, and maybe put a sketch of the cable between the flash slave and the shutter release plug.
Note for this you would need to preset focus, and turn AF off, so the shutter will trip when the slave tells it to.
