eaa2cf4022 Remove fortunes-o from the base system. Debating what does or does not
belong in this file is not a useful exercise or conducive to producing a
high quality advanced operating system.

While here, simplify the make rules to autocompute BLDS and FILES from a
single DB variable.

so use the more likely and grammatically correct text.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld introduced in r228909 [1],[2]

2. Change c-cedilla introduced in the same commit to ASCII c since
   non-UTF-8 terminals will choke on the non-ASCII text. [2],[3]

436c93525d 1. Remove a bunch of duplicates. Usually this means removing them from
fortunes, but occasionally remove them from the other 2 files when
   they are not offensive, or not murphy'ish enough.

   Where the version in fortunes had better attribution and/or formatting,
   copy it over.

2. Fix a few typos

3. Use the full name of François De La Rochefoucauld, fix one of his
   quotes, and remove the duplicate of it.

5db2dc2a3a Fix the text and attribution of the poem "Youth" by Samuel Ullman.
Our copy was a bastardization of the "older" (probably original?) and
shorter version of the poem; and the "newer" version that is better
known, and arguably more popular. Standardize on the latter.

5889adb09d Sync fortunes with other *BSDs
- Spelling errors
- Typographical fixes
- Consistent attributions
- Use Jr. more consistently
- Capitalization of dictionary-like entries
- Sorting using tools/do_sort
- Remove duplicate fortunes
- Style according to the Notes file
- Reflect correct default fortune name in Notes
- Remove some no longer needed spelling hints
- Drop latin1 characters (sorry Mårten)

This is a partial sync against the DragonflyBSD sources, where a lot of
fixes from Free, Net and OpenBSD were merged previously. Only about 50%
of the changes originate from there, the rest was done by dougb and
yours truly.

b962a0d6e0 [patch] fortune(6): George Bernard Shaw quote fix
From the original PR:

    s/milestones/millstones/
    and less important..
    s/man/Man/
    Not every source I've seen capitalizes 'Man', but it seems
    right. Uncapitalized 'man' would usually be preceded by
    an 'a'. But I haven't seen any reference cite the orignal
    source yet, so I can't say for sure.
