[new] sysutils/vifm

Hello,

As far as I know port for Vifm was included once, got removed and then
there was one failed attempt to add it back. There seems to be some
interest in having it, and in particular I've received a request for a
port as Vifm's maintainer, so I decided to give it a try after using
OpenBSD for a bit for other reasons.

I originally declined making a port because I'm not using OpenBSD,
but I can run it in a VM for tests and filter out all emails from this
list that don't mention "vifm" to keep an eye on the port. Although
ideally, if this gets accepted, some OpenBSD & Vifm user could take over
the port and just ask me for assistance in case of issues.

This is a multi-package port. -main doesn't depend on any other port,
except during build. -desktop provides .desktop file with a
corresponding pixmap and depends on devel/desktop-file-utils. Tests
pass. /etc is handled via @sample. There is a number of patches, but
they should all be gone for the next release.

pkg/DESCR-main:

Vifm is a file manager with curses interface, which provides Vim-like
environment for managing objects within file systems, extended with some
useful ideas from mutt. If you use vi, Vifm gives you complete keyboard
control over your files without having to learn a new set of commands.

Install vifm-desktop pakcage for desktop integration.

pkg/DESCR-desktop:

This package adds .desktop-file of Vifm.

Best regards,
xaizek
