+zgv (svgalib picture viewer)
+
+zgv is a picture viewer with a thumbnail-based file selector.
+It supports most popular formats and allows panning and fit-to-screen
+methods of viewing, slideshows, scaling, gamma adjustment, etc.
+
+By default, the zgv binary is installed suid root, but we have patched
+the build to not do this. Instead, we install a udev rules file that
+should allow non-root users who belong to the "video" group to use zgv.
+Note that you will have to "modprobe svgalib_helper" prior to using zgv.
+
+For more information, see zgvs manpage, info files and /usr/doc/zgv-*/SECURITY.
