For all the *vi* fans, here's a file manager that uses vi
keybindings and is very quick.

I built it from source. Only problem I had was that the first
time I ran the configure script it failed because it was
expecting to find one or more files in /usr/share/automake-1.7/
and 12.0 uses 1.9. So I just did cp -a .../1.7 to .../1.9 and all
went well.

It has very few dependencies:

linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)
libncurses.so.5 => /lib/libncurses.so.5 (0xb7ee0000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xb7d9e000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0xb7d9a000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7f2a000)

After stripping the executable it's only 112K.

Got great reviews on several sites I scanned while googling for a
better file manager. Pretty new app. Nice looking in an 'xterm'.

Has special stuff for vim users.
