Well, last I looked there were several companies out with flash interfaces
that not only set the camera's shutter, etc. to the appropriate speed, but
also are able to communicate information about whether or not the flash is
recharged yet after a flash.  Sometimes this just lights an led in the
viewfinder; on other cameras the camera will take over and try its best
to correctly expose an existing-light shot if the flash isn't yet ready.

As for your other question, I doubt that any increase in wear is worth
the frustration of missing a shot because you didn't wind yet.  I always
leave cameras cocked and have never experienced any shutter problems.
