As far as I know, the ability to deal with this file formate
requires the corresponding library to be used. Evince seems
to be able to, but xpdf and gv are "just PS/PDF viewers", so
this functionality hasn't been incorporated.

Even though ImageMagic is a "heavy chunk of compiling", it
is acceptably easy to use when installed ("display" command).
Enabling DJVU option and recompiling it shouldn't pull too
many dependencies into the system.
