Integration with Mailchimp using third party tools

Hi,
We are a charity based in the UK, and I think we need some alternative to the standard integration app from Mailchimp.  We don't have a problem with Mailchimp as such, but the sychronisation app it provides as standard doesn't meet our needs.
Our main requirements are:
  1. Ability to link to more than one Mailchimp account.  We have three accounts already (and no, we can't  merge them), and may have more in future.  The standard app will only link to one account.
  2. A way to get unsubscribe notifications, as well as new subscriptions, and get both in a timely fashion.
  3. We have several lists in Mailchimp, and our contacts have a tendency to subscribe to different ones with different email addresses.  We need to avoid duplication of contacts as a result of multiple subscription notices from the same contact using different email addresses. We also have multiple contacts who will share the same emails address (e.g. married couples), and we need to be able to know which of them an email in Mailchimp corresponds to.  This would actually be a useful thing for all our contacts.
We are thinking we may need to get some development work done, but before we do I wondered if anyone else had ever needed this sort of thing doing, or if it is even possible (especially linking third party integrations to Mailchimp), or if there is something that will do this already? And failing that, if anyone knows and alternative to Mailchimp that does, or could be made to, do this?
