new package psview ... we have to discuss that ;-)
But most people in Bachotek were really impressed and did like it. Source is coming, too git-svn-id: svn://tug.org/texlive/trunk@7843 c570f23f-e606-0410-a88d-b1316a301751

+PS_View README
+
+This is PS_View (a previewing utility for Ghostscript interpreter)
+version 5.06. It is release candidat for BachoTeX -- now it is fully
+functional and needs through testing. It can be used as a basic
+PostScript viewer, but it still probably has bugs.
+
+It is written using wxWidgets, wxLua and wxGhostscript libriares.
+Curently, it works under Windows and Linux. It should work also
+under Mac OS X. It would be marvellous if the bold Mac OS X-ers
+could verify it.
+
+Sources needed to recompile the program are in a separate zip file
+(note that it doesn't contain the Lua and PostScript scripts needed
+to run the program).
+
+Package consists of:
+ README -- this file
+ gswxluas -- wxLuaGhostscript executable (ELF) file
+ gswxlua.exe -- wxLuaGhostscript executable (WIN32) file
+ mingwm10.dll -- minGW library needed by gswxlua.exe
+ psv.wx.lua -- wxLua part of PS_View program
+ psv_view.ps -- PostScript part of PS_View program
+ psv -- bash script for linux
+ psv.bat -- batch script for windows
+ psv.desktop -- info file for Xwindow users
+ psv.xpm -- icon for Xwindow
+ psv_about.ps -- about info file
+ psv_obsluga.pdf -- usage help file
+ pl/, de/, en/ -- locale messages
+
+Usage: psv[.bat] [Postscript/PDF file]
+ or
+Usage: gswxlua [-h|--help] [-c|--console] [-l|--lua] psv.wx.lua [options] [-p|--ps] psv_view.ps [-- [more options]]
+ -h, --help help on command line arguments;
+ -c, --console show message console;
+ -l, --lua wxLua script to construct application;
+ -q, --quiet turn off most of messages;
+ -v, --verbose turn on verbose/debug mode;
+ -n, --new open new window for document;
+ -g, --gsdll path to Ghostscript dll/so file;
+ -i, --gslib paths to Ghostscript init files;
+ -s, --gsset Ghostscript parameter (-s equivalent);
+ -d, --gsdef Ghostscript parameter (-d equivalent);
+ -p, --ps PostScript program to run;
+ -- all following argument will be passed to Ghostscript;
+
+Some paths are discovered automatically:
+
+1) first, all the relevant files are searched along the path given
+ in the command line (absolute or relative with respect to the
+ current directory)
+2) next, the files are searched in the directories defined in the config
+ file [TODO: editing of the config file]
+3) the Lua file is additionaly searched in the directory
+ where the executable file has been found
+3a) in turn, the PostScript file is searched in the directory
+ where the Lua file was found
+3b) if the search described in the points 3, 3a was needed, the resulting
+ path is added to the search path of the Ghostscript input files
+4) the Ghostscript library file (.dll or .so) is searched along the path
+ given in the command line (-g option)
+4a) then it is searched along the path defined by the GS_DLL environment
+ variable
+4b) if all attempts so far fail, the last resort in Unix is the
+ standard library directory (/usr/local/lib, /usr/lib) and in
+ Windows is the register key (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/GPL_Ghostscript)
+4c) if the the Ghostscript library file was found in the points 2 or 4,
+ the subdirectory lib/ of the relevant Ghostscript tree is also added
+ to the search path of the Ghostscript input files
