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.
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
Delete some duplicates found while double checking the new ones,
and fix a typo.
These haven't been sorted yet, but will be in a future commit.

* 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.
small typo fixes. Most have to do with periods and ellipses, but there
are some spelling, capitalization, and miscellaneous fixes. No meanings
have been changed.
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.
