Remember, bsetbg is a shell script that is actually going to call whatever
utility you configure it to call.  All you've done is add one level of
abstraction to the problem. :)

People needing xv specifically could always swipe it from a Potato disk
set, or the latest-packaged Debian (3.10a-26) is still out there on the
'net.  I saved the doc package and the binary in my archives in case I ever
needed it again... someday I'll scrounge up the source deb and build it
against xlibs instead of xlib6g. :)
