16f4e196f2 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.

The attribution appears to be correct according to
http://emporium.turnpike.net/C/cs/sagan.htm.  Others have apparently
attributed it to Carl Sagan.
