1d449dce78 Move the "yiddish cooking has killed more jews than Hitler" quote back
to the offensive file.

The other Hitler quotes/references stay in the unoffensive file, as
they offer more historical perspective than this one.

4e30e04c4d Move the Hitler quotes and some references to him to the "offensive" file.
I did not bother to sort them all. If you have a script, feel free.

f92c1adc15 My change, namely srandomdev() addition, was backed out even without
discussing with me, and I obviously disagree seeing that afterwards
(srandomdev() back out not fix any thing, it can only mask the problem).

So, back out the back out and return srandomdev().

People who have problems with repeated quotes should use -D fortune
option for debugging to see is the problem in (1) /dev/random initialization
or in (2) fortune code itself.

I will be glad to help, but I can't reproduce repeated quote situation
on my machine.

In either case found, (1) or (2) should be fixed instead of removing
srandomdev().

8af732d13c Use a random number to seed the random number generator. Goodby, Rush
Limbaugh.

This should have already worked properly if random(4) has been
initialized correctly, but it seems that this is frequently not the
case.  Instead, use the microsecond part of the current time as the
seed.

59c2bcbae9 Correct an error in the previous revision. RAND_MAX is the maximum value
for rand(3), not random(3).  random(3) is defined to return values between
0 and 2^31-1, so add a local RANDOM_MAX constant to this file that is
defined as 2^31-1 and use that in place of RAND_MAX.

(For those interested: this is intented to extend the space between
characters to help people learning morse code by giving the brain some
extra time for acoustical pattern recognition.)

Note: I slightly cleaned up the submitted patch for minor stylistic
issues, and changed the default for the new -c option to be identical
to -w.

Ruslan Ermilov
6325a5d282 Trim more cookies, by playing with different hash functions,
e.g., by trimming all non-alphabet characters and whitespace,
converting to lowercase, and considering only first (or last)
N letters (maybe only consonants).  The fortune editor then
displays all fortunes that have the same hash, and allows to
remove one of them.  The rest is written to stdout.
