Thinking fast is good, thinking right is better.

If ve are gonna mix default viewers and "other" viewers in the same
directory
we need a way to see the difference between them, so we either have to stick
with
".rockbox/viewer/[extension]-[anything].rock" with the possibilty for
confusion
or use somthing like ".rockbox/viewer/[extension]-default.rock"

Another drawback, if we keep all the viewers in the same directory, with
the ".rockbox/viewer/[extension]-[anything].rock" scheme is that then we can
not use "-"
in viewer plugin names.
