o Create a new "screen". (There's a 'combo box' next to the menu that says
"SCR: screen.001". Select ADD NEW there and call it "4 view" or something.
o then split your 3D view into 4 parts (right click on the borders & "split")
o make one the top view, one the side, one the front view, and the fourth
a "free" view
o in each of the fixed screens select "View/Background Image..." and
select the respective image. You may have to rescale and move in Gimp
so that their reference point (origin) agrees.
o in the border-right-click context menu disable the menus ("No header")
of the three fixed views

Could be possible by actually texturing a cube in a different scene, and
display it in your editing scene. Unfortunately, I forgot how to do that.
