My $.02, I hacked up a script called Projector. It's Perl/Tk based
and works with Pudge's mkslides markup format or custom text format
(very POD-like). It's at:
http://geeksalad.org/projector/
It's got lots of features, which are all listed there. Additionally,
since it uses Tk (and canvases), I just hacked up a script to run
through the presentation and make 6-slide-per-page thumbnails for
keeping notes...
