I think that  the DPI interface is perhaps  overly complicated for the
common case  where we just want to  save the data to  a temporary file
and  point some  external program  at  it.  Perhaps  the config  could
specify a map from MIME types to helper functions, eg:

    application/pdf = epdfview %s

Thoughts?
