feh has this odd right-click menu though. It's also surprisingly large
(it also can set your background image...).

[feh]$ wc -l `find . -name '*.c' -o -name '*.h'`

If the conversion tools are already written (I wasn't sure this was

make it speak only farbfeld and then to wrap it up in a shell script
(?) that converts all arguments to temporary farbfeld files and passes
them to sxiv.
