the terminal work properly out of the box when logging over a serial
line, which is quite important for the user experience on boards like
Raspberry Pi. It doesn't affect cases where the terminal size is
already non-zero, such as SSH or vt(4) sessions.
Note that this doesn't handle a scenario pointed out by rgrimes@:
when the terminal is resized after login, the terminal size won't
get updated even after logging out and back in.

update paths; and include everything in the "base" distribution.
The "games" distribution being optional made sense when there were more
games and we had small disks; but the "games-like" games were moved into
the ports tree a dozen years ago and the remaining "utility-like" games
occupy less than 0.001% of my laptop's small hard drive. Meanwhile every
new user is confronted by the question "do you want games installed" when
they they try to install FreeBSD.
The next steps will be:
2. Removing punch card (bcd, ppt), phase-of-moon (pom), clock (grdc), and
caesar cipher (caesar, rot13) utilities. I intend to keep fortune, factor,
morse, number, primes, and random, since there is evidence that those are
still being used.
3. Merging src/games into src/usr.bin.
This change will not be MFCed.

o Comment out display of fortune by default.
o Synch root's .cshrc/.login and non-root's .cshrc/.login in terms of
gratuitous variables set (EDITOR).
o Remove some commented out variables set inconsistently or gratuitously,
such as Interviews settings, 8-bit German locale for root only.
o Synchronize comments in header, as well as references to appropriate man
pages.
o Remove MANPATH setting as apparently /etc/manpath.config does all that
already.
Similar changes probably need to be made in other dot.* files for root
and skel, as all of these files seem to set different aliases, environmental
variables, prompts, and have different semantics.
As a result of this patch, leaving aside the setting of a special prompt
for root, users of csh and tcsh should find similar environments when
logging in or su'ing to any account using that shell.

. Don't clobber the TERM setting; it's supposed to be done by /etc/ttys
already.
. Comment out the Interviews stuff, 98 % of all users probably won't
ever use it.
. Install the files with better default permissions in the skeleton
directory; pw(8) retains the permissions when creating a new
acount, and installing them read-only is stupid, yet installing
.rhosts world-readable is dangerous.
2.2 candidate
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
