ebe5e23d16 My change, namely srandomdev() addition, was backed out even without 
discussing with me, and I obviously disagree seeing that afterwards
(srandomdev() back out not fix any thing, it can only mask the problem).

So, back out the back out and return srandomdev().

People who have problems with repeated quotes should use -D fortune
option for debugging to see is the problem in (1) /dev/random initialization
or in (2) fortune code itself.

I will be glad to help, but I can't reproduce repeated quote situation
on my machine.

In either case found, (1) or (2) should be fixed instead of removing
srandomdev().

6d42881fd8 Use a random number to seed the random number generator. Goodby, Rush 
Limbaugh.

This should have already worked properly if random(4) has been
initialized correctly, but it seems that this is frequently not the
case.  Instead, use the microsecond part of the current time as the
seed.

6c5bcb1fd2 Correct an error in the previous revision. RAND_MAX is the maximum value 
for rand(3), not random(3).  random(3) is defined to return values between
0 and 2^31-1, so add a local RANDOM_MAX constant to this file that is
defined as 2^31-1 and use that in place of RAND_MAX.

999d3f2f2a Add Farnsworth support to morse(6). 
(For those interested: this is intented to extend the space between
characters to help people learning morse code by giving the brain some
extra time for acoustical pattern recognition.)

Note: I slightly cleaned up the submitted patch for minor stylistic
issues, and changed the default for the new -c option to be identical
to -w.
