Ability to open book to a given page

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm developing an app using python for android which calls ebookdroid to open a 
djvu file.  (My request would also apply to calling ebookdroid from a regular 
android app.)  I'm using intent 'android.intent.action.VIEW' and passing the 
filename '/sdcard/book.djvu', with package 'org.ebookdroid' and activity 
'org.ebookdroid.ui.viewer.ViewerActivity'.

I'd like to tell ebookdroid to open the book to a specific page.  Maybe using 
the "extras" portion of the Intent framework?  I don't totally understand how 
Intents work, so maybe it is not possible to do what I want to do.

If this isn't possible, maybe another way would be to have an option for 
ebookdroid to look for a txt file in a particular location when it starts up, 
and if it finds something formatted like

book='/sdcard/book.djvu'
page='100'

then it will open that book to that page.  Otherwise it will act normally, 
going to Recent books or opening the last opened book.

yes - it can be implemented via extras - we will provide the list of parameters 
a bit later.
