Excuse me, but what's the point of this software?
Most Gentoo users know what package they
installed (this is different from Fedora), and
they would type the programme name they
want, wouldn't they?

It can be used for instance in the mailcap configuration for mutt (which is a console application), letting the htmlview script decide what is the best html viewer to be used, depending if mutt is being run in the Linux console or in a terminal emulator in X11. In my configuration, links is fired when in console, in firefox when in X11. This is just an example.
