regular program instead of as a host tool;
* add tools/strfile directory to build strfile as a host tool;
* in tools/Makefile, add strfile to SUBDIR list;
* in BSD.*.mk, define TOOL_STRFILE variable;
* in games/fortune/datfiles/Makefile, use TOOL_STRFILE when creating
databases at build time;
* in distrib/sets/lists/games/mi, mention usr/games/strfile.

* Don't bother prefixing commands with a line of ${_MKCMD}\
and instead rely upon "make -s". This is less intrusive on
all the Makefiles than the former. Idea from David Laight.
* Rename the variables use to print messages. The scheme now is:
_MKMSG_FOO Run _MKMSG 'foo'
_MKTARGET_FOO Run _MKMSG_FOO ${.TARGET}

* Have 'fake' options for all offensive fortune files (fortunes2-o and
limerick moved to fortunes2-o.real and limerick.real via repository copy).
* build all offensive fortune data files, etc., in the same way.
* Have installation of offensive fortunes controlled by one make variable.
To disable build/install of offensive fortunes, set
INSTALL_OFFENSIVE_FORTUNES to anything other than "YES" on the make
command line, in bsd.own.mk, or in /etc/mk.conf or your ${MAKECONF} file.
(If changing the setting, you should 'make clean' here and rebuild
the fortunes before installing.)
* Don't use variables that bsd.prog.mk thinks have certain meanings.
