I think W3M seems to put another window layer atop the terminal to
display images.  It works, but my main use case for W3M is as man page
viewer W3MMAN (aliased to man), so I don't care much for it's image
capabilities.

Elinks has a `./configure` option to enable Sixels, which I did, and I
see the generated binary being linked to `libsixel`, found the run-time
option to enable Sixel graphics, but I never see any images displayed.

If someone succeeds with this, please ping me.
