Interesting. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work for me---first, it 
won't compile against libexif 0.6.16-1 (the version in Ubuntu---it 
complains that exif_entry_get_value needs more arguments), second, my 
OSX box doesn't have framebuffer support (w3mimgdisplay appears to be 
calling the X11 libraries to do its business).

I also looked at fbv, which has similar problems.

It would appear that w3mimgdisplay is unusable (at least without 
modifying mutt) for auto_view'ing images, because mutt redraws the 
screen too much, and thus the image disappears as quickly as it's 
drawn.

Ah, well... on the plus side, because w3mimgdisplay uses the X11 
libraries, I can ssh into my main box and still view images! :D
