When I change my oil I turn over the engine with the coil terminal (12v
supply) removed.  This, I believe, will run the oil pump, fill the galleries
, without any ignition applied.

You might try a dash switch which disables the coil?  then on that weekend
1st start, you could crank the engine with no spark a few times then flip it
on and run.  

Side effect - I suppose this would also pre fuel the car a bit?  might help
on cold winter mornings, kind of an extra cold start valve?  Maybe not
significantly.

Anyway I've never had any odd results.
