  Description     : Small command-line viewer using RGB colors and Unicode block characters to render image

Small command-line image viewer using 24-bit RGB ANSI colors and Unicode
block characters which create a 4x8 pixel cell for each character. With
the use of these Unicode block characters, this can provide a higher
resolution image for the same screen real estate.

It was compared with timg and catimg and can get out finer detail than
those tools and make a sharper presentation. The mail_new.png icon seems
to have a lot of fine detail with the text on the page. Here is my
comparision case:

catimg -H 32 /usr/share/icons/mate/256x256/actions/mail_new.png
timg -g 32x32 /usr/share/icons/mate/256x256/actions/mail_new.png
./tiv -h 32 -w 32 /usr/share/icons/mate/256x256/actions/mail_new.png

I am currently planning on maintaining it myself, but I am open if there
is a team that is more appropriate to help with it. The package itself
is very lightweight and should not require much maintenance. I will need
a sponsor to get this package into Debian.
