Ok, hack it is...

Multiplex the multiple views, just like you would multiple sprites.
Use a joystick port to select one of several monitors.  This could be
done as simply as forcing all the sync outputs to zero except the one
you want to enable.

HORRIBLE FLICKER!!!!!!

But it can be done, and with no hardware other than some fancy patch cables.

I feel dirty now.....
