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.

o Prepend underscores to the ntohl() family to help deal with
  complexities associated with having MD (asm and inline) versions, and
  having to prevent exposure of these functions in other headers that
  happen to make use of endian-specific defines.
o Create weak aliases to the canonical function name to help deal with
  third-party software forgetting to include an appropriate header.
