8817a867df The ../tools/do_sort script could not differentiate between
a few very slightly diffrent versions of tcsh prompts, so
restore the 2 that were lost, and consolidate them all in
a way that will prevent them from being lost again.

db7de88380 Combine the fortunes-o.real and the fortunes2-o file, as was done
with fortunes and fortunes2 2 years and 2 days ago. The fortunes2-o
file was brought in with the original import of the 4.4 Lite games
directory, but has always consisted in large part of fortunes
duplicated from other files.

The combined size of the two files is still only 631K, or less
than 1/3rd of the size of the fortunes file.

Combining them has the added benefit of making the fortunes from
fortunes2-o visibile to fortune(6)'s -m option.

This change should probably not be MFC'ed beyond RELENG_7.

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

3f1d492610 Another typo in the previous commited fix. That makes four typos
in one fortune of only 32 words. Based on that single ratio, there
are 50453 more typos in the rest of the fortunes file....
