afe8bb313c * Reformat several attributions according to ../Notes (mostly whitespace) 
* Spell out some names that were pointlessly abbreviated
* Remove a couple of incidental duplicates
* Harry Truman had no actual middle name. The initial "S" was added to his
name to make him appear more statesmanlike. Therefore it's not usually punctuated.
* Format a couple of actual fortunes to fit into 72 columns

14f166b706 Don peril-sensitive sunglasses and correct the spelling of ukulele. 
"Ukulele" is the canonical term, with "ukelele" being a derivation.
Also there is some evidence that the original appearance of the quote
had the spelling "ukulele", although anyone who has a copy of Esquire
from March 1967 is welcome to prove me wrong.

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.

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.

The submitter also posted a change to 'fortunes.sp.ok', but it
looks like this file is no longer needed in our version so I've
left the typo in the file.  (It also doesn't have a $FreeBSD$ tag,
and I couldn't easily find in the code whether it will allow comments
within it or not.)

13e3316372 *blush* Instead of undoing my own change, i clobbered dcs's rev 1.21 
change.

I'll never touch this again...

c424905006 Back out rev 1.21. bde and dcs convinced me that all this is messed up 
anyway, and there can't be any solution that will universally work in any
case (make world, cross-compilation, simple `make' without `make world'
after incompatible options have been added to strfile, ...)

93548d79ba Revert to 1.19. ${.OBJDIR}/../strfile must be taken out, since it 
breaks the cross-compilation case, but I'm not the one doing it.
$$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
revision 1.14 of this file.

117e008ac0 Reverse the way $PATH is extended, so if the person building that area 
has /usr/games in its $PATH, where /usr/games/strfile doesn't grok an
option that the newly built one inside /usr/obj would grok, the build
process would be able to complete.
