I guess there is a way to do it in p4v as well, the only reason why it's p4win 
only is because I only use p4win myself. Hate p4v with a passion. So it never 
really became a need for me to implement this... I'll leave it here and see if 
I can do something next time around with the configurations...

Tip from Ben:

Dear All, 
I believe you can show an item using p4v instead of p4win : 
p4v.exe -cmd "open //somepath/somefile.cpp" 
this will open p4v and select an item in the depot tree view 
Regards 
Ben

I added a new configuration option to prefer p4v instead of p4win. It's in the 
code as of r111.
