a sound vpf viewer as Free Software would be great.
Currently there is only vhclmaps which is quite outdated
and afaik, OpenMap (Java) which handle vpf.
Links to these and perhaps some more at www.freegis.org.

I am crossposing this to the FreeGIS mailing list, perhaps
some people are also interested in the  development of a GPL/LGPL
vpf viewer.
