I've been working on my own version of the viewer. Here's the result:

http://daleglass.net/installer/sl_rev_38.exe

Codebase is based on 1.17.3.0, although it tries to find llkdu.dll
distributed with 1.17.3.1 (remains of a test I did for a tester)


It will work by trying to get files from official installs, if any.
It'll try to grab Kakadu from there. If it can't, it'll go on anyway
(should use openjpeg instead)


Changes:
	* Branding
	* Changed the channel, so grid won't offer updates
	* Avatar scanner (View/Avatar List)
	* Partial support for my reputation system (won't work, needs
	  attachment for now)

Known problems:
	* Installer is glacially slow if you're doing a full install
	 (much faster if you've got an official viewer installed)
	* I've seen the installer crash once, couldn't reproduce yet
	 (will continue from where it stopped if restarted though)

Avatar list usage:
	Columns:
		* Name
		* Distance
		* Age
		* Score (won't work)
		* Payment info
		* Activity: walking, making sounds, particles, gone

		Lindens appear in bold

		Avatars that left are kept in the list for a short time

		Click column to sort

		Double click a row to focus camera on avatar

		Scanning range is roughly the draw distance

	Actions tab:
		Should be mostly self-explanatory.
		
		Select multiple people and click IM to create a group
		chat with the selected people.

	TrustNet tab:
		Won't work

	Luskwood tab:
		Specific to Luskwood, only useful if you're a moderator
		there.

	Options tab:
		Self-explanatory


Installer has been giving me some trouble and should be done and fully
released with source tomorrow.
