I somehow overlooked the fact that vifm only uses X11 to set window
title.  I bet people may live without this feature.  (I thought it uses
X11 for clipboard.)  Provided that basic things work with file(1)
backend, FLAVORs indeed don't seem a good idea.

Attached tarball contains a non-FLAVORed port for vifm with all optional
features disabled.  Brief testing demonstrates that it is buggy (prints
artifacts in file info dialog for some file names, provides different
set of handlers for the files with same mime type, seldom picks
different handlers for the same file).  I believe that my patch makes
file(1) usage in this port at least safer then it was.

FLAVORed version is still available in openbsd-wip repo.

I am not really interested in vifm, so I leave this port here as it is.
