Based on research and recommendations from The Helpful Moose, I've ordered
the E-PM2 kit with the two lenses.

He's on Windows.  Also not (at least now) in need of something like
Lightroom.

Need a recommendation for something fairly inexpensive that has some
controls, but is also easy enough for a beginner to use.  Preferably, with
the ability to handle RAW at a future date once they start digging in more.

What's wrong with Oly Viewer 3?

Free with the camera.

Excellent on color, noise and decent sharpening.

For anyone who uses the camera settings for color, contrast, sharpen, etc. on JPEGs, the default results from Raw conversion will be like what they are used to.

Doesn't do much in the way of highlight recovery, but if someone gets that far, 
they may be looking for something else.

The usual array of sliders, Ala LR and everybody else, with which one may improve images, and likely often enough make them worse.
