Description     : scriptable frame buffer and ascii art image viewer
   FIM is a highly customizable and scriptable image viewer targeted at the
   users who are comfortable with software like the Vim text editor or the Mutt
   mail user agent (it aims to be a "Swiss Army knife" for viewing images).
   It derives from the Fbi image viewer (by Gerd Hoffmann), and in addition to 
   the Linux framebuffer console it can use X (via the SDL library) and offer
   ascii art output (via the aalib library).
   It provides: regular expressions based vim-like autocommands; GNU readline
   based command line autocompletion and history; completely customizable key
   bindings; external/internal (if-while based) scriptability (through return
   codes, standard input/output, and commands given at invocation time) an
   initialization file; filename-based image search; and much more.
