one cannot assume that the program "see" exists on all Unix platforms.
Indeed. Doesn't exist on mine, for instance :).
Instead of forcing the user to "configure" something (few will), I
suggest having texdoc by default dynamically check along PATH for a
suitable program (see, evince, xpdf, sumatra, whatever). Of course, if
a specific program is chosen by the user, that should just be used.
I think this single change would make texdoc dramatically more
accessible. I might even use it myself sometimes :).
Manuel (or anyone), is that something you'd like to work on?
Best,
Karl
