53365f4b43 Give a better advice on how to convert DOS text to UNIX text. 
The former tip used `col -bx', which would not only discard
CR's, but also expand TAB's and remove BS'en.  This effect is
not always wanted.

25f718f0b7 Fix misspellings in the freebsd-tips fortunes. The same PR has 
a patch to mention portupgrade in freebsd-tips as well; I'm not
sure if that belongs here, so I'll leave it for someone else.

b564d8acf1 * Add $FreeBSD$ to limerick and zippy 
* Delete trailing white space in all its forms. In addition to being
bad style in general, it also causes formatting, and other problems
for various third party items (like xscreensaver) which use fortunes
for their own purposes.

a521a4eece Other committers do not mention their personal names and/or email 
addresses when adding stuff, so it seems fair to stop ``getting all
the fame'' by having my name displayed on login sessions.

d33a962d07 Move /etc/defaults/make.conf to /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf as 
discussed on the arch@ mailinglist (after repo-copy).

sys.mk will .error if it finds /etc/defaults/make.conf but include
it anyways (this is the same behaviour as with the make.conf.local
removal).

/usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf has BDEFLAGS commented out now,
since it's only an example file.

Adjust all textes that talk about make.conf or defaults/make.conf to
match the new situation.

821213b97f Remove whitespace after %. The whitespace was causing strfile to not see 
the % string section break and thus fortune was producing a rather large
multi-fortune fortune message.
