1f5522a497 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.

2790da8d06 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.

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.

If you defined NOTOOLS and it breaks for you, don't do that.

9758c81c9f Fixed building without /usr/games in $PATH. Just add /usr/games 
to the _end_ of $PATH before using tools that are normally in
/usr/games.  I broke this in rev.1.9 by assuming that these tools
are in $PATH (as they are for `make world' unless NOTOOLS is set).
Revs.1.10-1.13 of this file had various wrong fixes.  Rev.1.18
of src/Makefile.inc1 has an incomplete fix.

PR:		7936

Fixed comments about what to comment out to [not] install the
potentially offensive fortunes.  This should be configured using
an ifdef.

Fixed missing dependencies of fortunes.dat on fortunes, etc.

Removed bogus dependency of `all' on source files.

Fixed some style bugs.

94fc2dabae Back out the last two hacks. I've added games to the (correct) build 
path in src/Makefile.inc. The code that I'm backing out didn't work
anyway since exists() checks for a file in .PATH (and /usr/games/strfile
doesn't exist there), so the test was always defaulting to ../strfile/strfile
which breaks cross-compiled builds.

in the buildtree.

7f513d9ef1 Use the installed versions of caesar and strfile. They are now 
bootstrapped by `make world', and the installed versions are just
as likely to work as the installed version of cc if `make' is run
directly.

b11dd427e0 Fixed annoying non-null output for `make depend'. SRCS should only 
be used for C, C++ and assembler sources if <bsd.prog.mk> is
included.  It was used for general files.  This caused the __depend_*
lists in <bsd.dep.mk> to be empty, so mkdep was never run, so
.depend never existed, so it was always out of date, so `rm -f
.depend' was always executed to update it.
