I figured out why the version of Chromium in ports does not support the
URL scheme wildcard: that was a feature of the matches value that was
added in Chromium v6.x.  Chromium is up to 7.x now, but the version in
FreeBSD ports is still 5.0.x, so my ugly "fix" is necessary to make
Vimium installable.
