Huh. gifview from the gifsicle package is my usualy go-to. Can't you
just make animate or gifview the default tool for the image/gif
mime-type? 

(It has been years since I've tried to view an image from a text mode
browser, and those do tend to support external tools for various
non-HTML content types. Dillo isn't text mode, but I last
used it in pre 1.0, so I don't know what it does these days. My
recollection is that it focused on "correctness", so I'd suspect it's an
option.)
