I was just looking through ":help starting.txt" and it seems to me that putting set all& set compatible set noloadplugins filetype off at the very start of your ~/.vimrc or ~/.exrc ought to give you as basic a vi as you can get from vim, even if a system vimrc has already been sourced. I'm not sure about the proper ordering of those first two, or if it makes a difference.
