ada215ee45 Give a better advice on how to convert DOS text to UNIX text. 
The former tip used `col -bx', which would not only discard
CR's, but also expand TAB's and remove BS'en.  This effect is
not always wanted.

dba5418199 Fix misspellings in the freebsd-tips fortunes. The same PR has 
a patch to mention portupgrade in freebsd-tips as well; I'm not
sure if that belongs here, so I'll leave it for someone else.

8153c8ffd9 * Add $FreeBSD$ to limerick and zippy 
* Delete trailing white space in all its forms. In addition to being
bad style in general, it also causes formatting, and other problems
for various third party items (like xscreensaver) which use fortunes
for their own purposes.

b076bf152b Other committers do not mention their personal names and/or email 
addresses when adding stuff, so it seems fair to stop ``getting all
the fame'' by having my name displayed on login sessions.

1b28c0b357 Move /etc/defaults/make.conf to /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf as 
discussed on the arch@ mailinglist (after repo-copy).

sys.mk will .error if it finds /etc/defaults/make.conf but include
it anyways (this is the same behaviour as with the make.conf.local
removal).

/usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf has BDEFLAGS commented out now,
since it's only an example file.

Adjust all textes that talk about make.conf or defaults/make.conf to
match the new situation.

d5b9e9f5d3 Remove whitespace after %. The whitespace was causing strfile to not see 
the % string section break and thus fortune was producing a rather large
multi-fortune fortune message.
