[support] view from different content types (views3)

[Ursula Pieper]

Thanks! I'll look into it, good pointers! Might take me a few days. I'll
post again, if I am running into issues.
Hope I can avoid re-loading the nodes. They where loaded using feeds, and I
have a lot of them (4000 for sequences, 60,000 for clusters, and now
another 300,000 for homologs).
