showpicture needs xloadimage, which is not present #139

Description

@hakansonOHSU

The "showpicture" command, which is part of "metamail", wants to use "xloadimage" to display some common picture-file formats. But xloadimage is not present after installing metamail, and I could not easily find xloadimage in a pkgsrc package.

I did find an "xli" package, which is apparently an offshoot of xloadimage. I've installed that and put a symlink xloadimage -> /opt/pkg/bin/xli elsewhere in my search path, which so far seems to be an acceptable workaround.

The above occurs on Joyent Pkgsrc current for Mac x86_64, on High Sierra, if that matters.
