Update README
I've noticed people often desire editing capabilities,
which is an unreasonable expectation.

fastiv
======
'fastiv' is a fast image viewer, supporting BMP, PNG, GIF, JPEG, and optionally
RAW and SVG pictures, or whatever gdk-pixbuf loads. Currently, it's very basic.
Non-goals
---------
- fancy UI--the focus is on speed of use first, colour accuracy second
- editing--that's what _editors_ are for, be it GIMP or Rawtherapee
- memory efficiency, though preloading can cause some pressure
- portability to non-UNIXy systems
Packages
--------
Regular releases are sporadic. git master should be stable enough. You can get
a package with the latest development version from Archlinux's AUR.
