Even from DEMO file, the references to xv should be removed, as it is
non-free software, it should not be referenced from GNU Hyperbole, and
it is not used much today, there are many other image viewers and all
are free software.

I use:  Editor:      GNU Emacs 28.0.50 (build 15, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, cairo version 1.14.8, Xaw3d scroll bars)

        Hyperbole:   7.1.2
        Sys Type:    x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
        OS Type:     gnu/linux
        Window Sys:  x
        News Reader: Gnus v5.13

Will add to the todo list.  Would be helpful if you specified a
similarly simple replacement.  -- Bob
