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.

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.

Adding an option to send raw data stream would be nice. Any X11 clients with some plugin (I'm thinking about my ERC) should be able to display images without any external app. :-)
