in PR 48443.

While here, remove a duplication, fix another typo, and
don't claim that Mr. Sheperd was the first man in space.

2ee946b266 Per [1] the speed of light in a vaccum is exactly 299792458 m/s. 
Per [2] a furlong is 220 yards and a yard is exactly 0.9144 m.
Per [3] a fortnight is 14 days.

As I didn't find a good authority for what definition of a day a fortnight is
measured in, I'll assume here a day is 86400 SI seconds.

Thus, the speed of light in a vaccum is approximately
1.80*10^12 furlongs per fortnight.

1.80*10^12 = 299792458*86400*14/(220*0.9144)

520cbbf81f Build strfile both as a host tool and as an installed program: 
* in games/fortune/strfile/Makefile, build strfile as a
  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.
