Right; I was involved with those discussions and proposed that RMagick
actually fake out the interface for Windows using a Fox display item.

However, Mr Atkins's problem is specifically for the web -- where the
DisplayViewer capabilities aren't required. He can simply toss the
image to a webserver to see that it's right.

This is still the right solution.
