XKCD viewer

Added this app to read xkcd without having to use a browser.

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24558

Please test it out. Enjoy !

I added an additional xkcdviewer.sh file in /usr/bin so that people can simply use the name instead of having to remember xkcd_viewer.pl. Let me know if that is a wrong approach and I will remove the extra sh file from the tarball.

Everything works.  No errors reported.  The only thing that sucks is the UI.  Good job; I like it.

I'd love to see compatibility with other popular webcomics.  Also, keep the .sh file.  It's simple added convenience without unnecessary bloat.

Well the author has tried to maintain the actual xkcd look and feel. Thats what he says in his Readme file
