Have you checked out J Fredrick Smith's post in the darkroom section about RAW workflow? If you haven't, you should.
He uses a black/gray/white card (I think it's actually a foldup thing much like a reflector) that he includes in one shot for every different lighting setup. If that's all you shoot (meaning you fill the frame with it), your histogram should be easy to check - three spikes in the right places and you're all set.

I'll tell you what Eldor...call yourself anything you want as far as I'm concerned. Package up your base of technical knowlege (especially the Hensel tidbits) and put it in a pill and I'd line up at the Pharmacy.
I only had a chance at the RAW workflow post and need to go back now that I have time. I saw the BGW card and actually located them online. The aren't free, but you'd only need to salvage one setup at one shoot to payoff the cost. I've also got a brand new Sekonic L-358 that just arrived, and that will be my primary tool, but I really liked the common sense explanation that even a newbie could follow.
