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.

a75ee2a221 Trim more cookies, by playing with different hash functions, 
e.g., by trimming all non-alphabet characters and whitespace,

N letters (maybe only consonants).  The fortune editor then
displays all fortunes that have the same hash, and allows to
remove one of them.  The rest is written to stdout.

in printf(3).

9b39ed7b94 Use POSIX macros for wait(2)-style status information instead of the 
deprecated 4.2/4.3BSD wait union.  Fix some nearby pid_t/int
confusion.

aa868b9ee5 Backout recent typo "fix". I've been enlightened that it's an obsolete 
and rare synonym for indomitable (from the French indomptable)

570838e70a It is not clear if "#endif FOO" is allowed by ANSI. Gcc 3.1 complains 
loudly, so don't do it.

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.
