The option vsmap is asking for an image browser.  The program need not
necessarily cache thumbnails on the hard disk.  Perhaps this is a wish list
item for xv developers or a sign to shop for other alternatives.

All I ever wanted was a file explorer similar to Microsoft Explorer
(latest) or ACDSee32 (www.acdsystems.com I think).  In Unix.  Too much to ask?
