display images inline in xterm (while using mutt)

Mutt Users <mutt-users at mutt.org> put forth the proposition:

I don't have a solution offhand, but I'd like to let you know that
w3m's image viewer can be invoked directly without going via w3m
first.

It is installed in your distro's libexec directory, which in mine
(slackware) is:

/usr/libexec/w3m/w3mimgdisplay

Doing a `locate w3mimgdisplay' should find it.
