Well LLs base is a decent start point. We have looked at the other viewers
and think we have some good ideas. I find that most of the other viewers
are not focused on building or sim management.

Imho, it is not a good idea to start yet-another-viewer.
The number of open source coders are limited, they should
be working on one viewer - not twenty.
We already have more than 10 different viewers based
on LL's code. How is it possible we need another?
