On some platforms (including all Windows platforms), you need to use
temp files while displaying photos.  The default photo viewer is
correct for Unix platforms, but not Windows so you need to set a
viewer in your options file like "photo-viewer myviewer.exe %I".

Some photo viewers don't work properly on Win32 without a patch to the
code, but give it a try.  1.0.8 (or whatever the next version is) or
the CVS version have better Win32 support for photos.
