flexible vi-like file manager using ncurses

Vifm is a file manager providing a vi-like usage experience. It has similar keybindings and modes (e.g. normal, command line, visual). The interface uses ncurses, thus vifm can be used in text-only environments. It supports a wide range of features, some of which are known from the vi-editor:

 - utf8 support
 - user mappings (almost like in vi)
 - ranges in command-line commands
 - user defined commands (with support for ranges)
 - registers

 - path specific colorscheme customization
 - bookmarks
 - operation backgrounding
