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.

d33a962d07 Move /etc/defaults/make.conf to /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf as 
discussed on the arch@ mailinglist (after repo-copy).

sys.mk will .error if it finds /etc/defaults/make.conf but include
it anyways (this is the same behaviour as with the make.conf.local
removal).

/usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf has BDEFLAGS commented out now,
since it's only an example file.

Adjust all textes that talk about make.conf or defaults/make.conf to
match the new situation.
