Description

Stripteases with libcaca are fun but...
It could be interesting to add a graphics mode in the console, a la links2.
Links2 uses different libs for differents cases: svgalib, libdirectfb, and X11.
Personally, i would be happy with a X11 support.

Firstly, I like franglais :-).

Your idea seems good, but that's not the Minbif job to choose the output system used, as Minbif is only a daemon.

Currently, the webcam support only sends data already formatted with libcaca in a DCC CHAT pipe. An other idea would to send raw data to IRC client, and a plugin on it'd open a X11 window, or anything else.
