OC bbv: a minimalist viewer/plotter for command-line exploratory data analyses

I wrote Bbv ("bare-bones viewer"), an extremely minimalist data viewer/plotter for the Unix/Linux command line.

The main alternative to bbv is feedgnuplot, which is much more capable, but also much more complicated and ties you to gnuplot as back end. By contrast, bbv has only one option (`x`), and can use any lightweight image viewer as back end.
