Patch to build/install fortune in games/bsdgames.

This is PR notifies the maintainer of games/bsdgames that to at his option add build/install of fortune(6). Acceptance of this patch is at the option of the port's maintainer.

This PR is in preparation for removal of fortune(6) in base.

I don't think it's a good idea.
If fortune is removed from base, it should go in its own port alongside strfile and unstr.
Comment 2 Adam Weinberger freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2017-11-26 14:46:41 UTC
I concur with Antoine. games/bsdgames installs many things, and most fortune users will want only to install fortune.

Thanks for doing the legwork on this patch though, Cy!
Comment 3 Cy Schubert freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2017-11-26 14:50:41 UTC
Sure. I with draw the PR. No other patches to replace fortune(6) in base will be submitted.
