Well, I'm really disappointed, I had a deathless run and was crazy excited about it, until I timed it (I do no timer no resets run), in game time was somewhere around 1:27:50 (?)... I think all my IL's are slower than ferret's, I still have a ton to learn.
I'm seeing people getting back to this game a bit as the days get closer to SGDQ, so I should really post this here. This is a small tool I put together using a Lua script for cheat engine. It's a stand-alone .exe, and it just looks at the game's memory and sends out a hotkey stroke to pause your wsplit/livesplit/llanfair timer every time a loading screen occurs in-game. It would probably be better to write a program from scratch, but I'm really not a programmer and this is the best I could come up with, and it seems to work pretty well. I've had to make several updates since I originally posted this but everything should be working.
If you're interesting in giving it a try you can find it here, I included a readme with instructions.

Important Note!: The 'Auto Split' feature can't split on time-trials, and won't split at the end of the final boss either. You will need to split those manually.

Update 2014-6-18: Now works with the new update for Rayman Legends that Ubisoft released today (v1.3.140380)
Update 2014-6-18: Added an automatic start/reset feature
Update 2014-6-20: Added an automatic split feature, saves settings in a config file (will probably not be adding any more features to keep it simple)
Update 2014-6-21: Fixed a bug that caused hotkeys to get stuck after closing and re-launching the game
Update 2014-6-28: No real changes, just cleaned up the script a bit and centered some text
Update 2014-9-15: Disabled the start/reset feature for now because it can cause errors (rmlSplit_u3_3b.zip)
Update 2014-9-16: Hopefully fixed issue with start/reset feature(rmlSplit_u3_3c.zip)
Update 2014-9-24: Got this working on Windows 8, thanks to DownieBrownie for bringing the issue to my attention.
