[sldev] Possible 3rd party contract for viewer modification

[Adam Frisby]

This is probably better served with a libsl based bot to be honest.

Hacking up a client to do it would be messy at best and libsl already 
has appropriate asset upload functions inplace that would turn it into a 
15 line C# application (plus libsl is easier to maintain than a custom 
viewer fork)
