How can you tell when you've rewound by EXACTLY one frame?

The standard procedure for doing double exposures on cameras which
don't have this  feature (The Nikon FM series does) is to:

     1) Take up the slack in the film canister by giving the rewind
	crank a half turn. (I'm not convinced that this really does
	anything useful.)

     2) Press the rewind button and at the same time . . .

     3) Pull the film-advance lever.

I've done this with my OM-2n. It works, but the film tends to drift
a little, so you can't get really precisely aligned double exposures.
I imagine that with practice you might learn to avoid moving the
film. This is, of course, a real pain if you're trying to do  two
exposures without moving the camer at all (as in doing ``ghost''
images of people).
