will take a list of files and go through them with eog as a viewer.

after each is viewed, the user will be asked if the file should be deleted
(on the console).  if they say yes, it is zapped into the del keep by the
safe del script.  regardless, the next picture is then displayed, etc.
useful for trolling through vast reams of vacation photos and deleting the
bad ones.
