5889adb09d Sync fortunes with other *BSDs
- Spelling errors
- Typographical fixes
- Consistent attributions
- Use Jr. more consistently
- Capitalization of dictionary-like entries
- Sorting using tools/do_sort
- Remove duplicate fortunes
- Style according to the Notes file
- Reflect correct default fortune name in Notes
- Remove some no longer needed spelling hints
- Drop latin1 characters (sorry Mårten)

This is a partial sync against the DragonflyBSD sources, where a lot of
fixes from Free, Net and OpenBSD were merged previously. Only about 50%
of the changes originate from there, the rest was done by dougb and
yours truly.

319a098a8f Sort these files using: sh ../tools/do_sort < $file > $file.sorted
This greatly aids in detecting duplicates, among other things.

2c7bf96d02 This is a massive cleanup of the fortune files, including removal
of many duplicates, formatting/whitespace fixes, spelling fixes,
and a host of others. Note: No fortunes were intentionally removed
(other than duplicates) as part of this cleanup. In removing dupes
I tried to be generous in not removing similarly worded fortunes
that had even slightly different punch lines.

Duplicates were resolved as follows (in this order):
* + limerick		-> limerick
* + fortunes-o.real	-> fortunes-o.real
* + fortunes2-o		-> fortunes2-o
* + zippy		-> zippy
murphy + fortunes	-> fortunes

In correcting spelling I've tried to leave colloquial variations
(especially British'isms) intact, as well as to not "correct"
errors that are part of the joke.

In fortunes and fortunes2-o I combined a couple of fortunes that
were adjacent to each other that seemed like they should have
originally been combined, and split a couple that seemed like they
should have originally been split.

Miscellaneous:
1. Fixed underlining
2. Capitalized proper names
3. Removed quotation marks from "freestanding" quotes for consistency
4. Added quotation marks to QOTD fortunes that needed them
5. Corrected or added many attributions
6. Removed apostrophes from trailing 's' that are plural, not possessive
7. Updated the path to fortune stuff included in some of the jokes
8. Updated several fortunes to their original version, and added attribution
9. Split up compound words that ispell tripped over

554eb505f8 Bring in the 4.4 Lite games directory, modulo man page changes and segregation
of the x11 based games.  I'm not going to tag the originals with bsd_44_lite
and do this in two stages since it's just not worth it for this collection,
and I've got directory renames to deal with that way.  Bleah.
