cd6ceabc3d Prefer exit(0) from main over return(0).
Although not explicitly mentioned in style(9), it allows for easier
grepping of exit points. This reverts part of r203926.

5499562eca fortune(6) switch to 3-clause BSDL; style(9)
This reduces the diff to other *BSD and makes it possible to actually
see the code differences.

1b19ce3e0a Our standard "xterm" termcap entry supports colour, so this tip is redundant.
As it happens, "xterm-color" has just been an alias for "xterm" since
src/share/termcap/termcap.src 1.131 in September 2002.

Change "there're" to "there are" which is consistent with the vast
majority of on line references.

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.

61f3d0ccf7 Put back the quote from Chinggis Khan removed in rev. 1.259.
The quote predated rev. 1.232, which rev. 1.259 was to correct;
therefore it was protected by the "Don't remove fortunes" rule.
