In the build process, fortune files have been randomized since at
...
least the 4.4-lite days. This is pointless, since fortune(6) performs
its own randomization. It was also problematic for binary update
systems such as ports/security/freebsd-update. This commit simply
removes the -r option to strfile so that the datfiles are constant.
