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.

821213b97f Remove whitespace after %. The whitespace was causing strfile to not see
the % string section break and thus fortune was producing a rather large
multi-fortune fortune message.

$$PATH *will* have a new strfile in /usr/bin built at build-tools
time, unless you defined NOTOOLS.

If you defined NOTOOLS and it breaks for you, don't do that.

If you did not define NOTOOLS but things are not working, the error is
elsewhere. See logs for src/Makefine.inc1, particularly rev 1.36, and

and got a slightly different answer than is in the quotation.

353f3cf0a6 Fixed building without /usr/games in $PATH. Just add /usr/games
to the _end_ of $PATH before using tools that are normally in
/usr/games.  I broke this in rev.1.9 by assuming that these tools
are in $PATH (as they are for `make world' unless NOTOOLS is set).
Revs.1.10-1.13 of this file had various wrong fixes.  Rev.1.18
of src/Makefile.inc1 has an incomplete fix.

Fixed comments about what to comment out to [not] install the
potentially offensive fortunes.  This should be configured using
an ifdef.

Fixed missing dependencies of fortunes.dat on fortunes, etc.

Removed bogus dependency of `all' on source files.

Fixed some style bugs.

fd74ae08a8 Back out the last two hacks. I've added games to the (correct) build
path in src/Makefile.inc. The code that I'm backing out didn't work
anyway since exists() checks for a file in .PATH (and /usr/games/strfile
doesn't exist there), so the test was always defaulting to ../strfile/strfile
which breaks cross-compiled builds.
