The version -2 will call
	see
in any case, so you can adjust your preferenfces using mailcap. This is
the same approach as taken from tetex.

I don't understand what you mean, but texdoc now will call see which in
turn checks the mailcap entries.

Or do you mean that texlive should add xdvi into the mailcap handling?

Best wishes

GLENTAGGART (n.)
A particular kind of tartan hold-all, made exclusive under licence for
British Airways. When waiting to collect your luggage from an airport
conveyor belt, you will notice that on the next conveyor belt a
solitary bag is going round and round uncollected. This is a
glentaggart, which has been placed there by the baggage-handling staff
to take your mind off the fact that your own luggage will shortly be
landing in Murmansk.
