I found the source for PDFviewer (uses Xpdf I see..) on timeless.justdave.net
But it won't compile for me in Scrachbox (missing comapp).
Anyhow, I figure I *ought* to be able to find the relevant DBUS sections 
in there to respond to hildon_mime_open_file. A hint from someone that 
knows would be nice, though.

I.e. how to hildonize some app so it will work from the file manager or 
the browser, or make a wrapper that accepts a DBUS request to open a 
URL/file and does e.g. system("mplayer blah.wmv").
