The ports collection of FreeBSD, which I used to install vile, allows
to compile from source and it is easy to include patches.

Speaking about patches: I noticed a number of patches:
vile-9.7.patch, and vile-9.7[a-h].patch.gz on the ftp site. None of
these is currently applied to the ports system. Do you recommend to
use them? I could file a bug report and try to get them included.
