- Not waiting for a viewer to finish & spawn multiples instances of viewer
  when more result on one query is found
- eat STDERR output to avoid mysterious crashes of spawned processes
- allow specific arguments for specific viewers

Well obviously that's the question - who is responsible for launching
the viewer ;)

Anyway I am not totally oppposed to your approach, but I'll need more time to
check what got broken... and perhaps ask to slightly adapt the patch for
signalling internally(= spawned by the script) handled cases so I can still do
my own stuff by the underlying scripts :)
