f4d7361ecf Update the "All I really need to know I learned in kindergarten" entry

afe8bb313c * Reformat several attributions according to ../Notes (mostly whitespace) 
* Spell out some names that were pointlessly abbreviated
* Remove a couple of incidental duplicates
* Harry Truman had no actual middle name. The initial "S" was added to his
name to make him appear more statesmanlike. Therefore it's not usually punctuated.
* Format a couple of actual fortunes to fit into 72 columns

14f166b706 Don peril-sensitive sunglasses and correct the spelling of ukulele. 
"Ukulele" is the canonical term, with "ukelele" being a derivation.
Also there is some evidence that the original appearance of the quote
had the spelling "ukulele", although anyone who has a copy of Esquire
from March 1967 is welcome to prove me wrong.

16f4e196f2 In the build process, fortune files have been randomized since at 
least the 4.4-lite days.  This is pointless, since fortune(6) performs
its own randomization.  It was also problematic for binary update
systems such as ports/security/freebsd-update.  This commit simply
removes the -r option to strfile so that the datfiles are constant.

bff11a8c74 s/-300K/~300K/ 
This is an absolute (kelvin) temperature.  I expect that in the original
source it was typeset as $\sim 300~{\rm K}$ or similar, meaning
"approximately 300 K".  Changing it to a minus sign in the fortunes file
was clearly an error, as absolute temperatures are by definition positive.

for their own purposes.

o Clean up <machine/endian.h> files.
o Remove unused __uint16_swap_uint32() from i386's <machine/endian.h>.
o Remove prototypes for non-existent bswapXX() functions.
o Include <machine/endian.h> in <arpa/inet.h> to define the
  POSIX-required ntohl() family of functions.
o Do similar things to expose the ntohl() family in libstand, <netinet/in.h>,
  and <sys/param.h>.
o Prepend underscores to the ntohl() family to help deal with
  complexities associated with having MD (asm and inline) versions, and
  having to prevent exposure of these functions in other headers that
  happen to make use of endian-specific defines.
o Create weak aliases to the canonical function name to help deal with
  third-party software forgetting to include an appropriate header.
o Remove some now unneeded pollution from <sys/types.h>.
o Add missing <arpa/inet.h> includes in userland.

/usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf has BDEFLAGS commented out now,
