Greg Lehey 8af732d13c Use a random number to seed the random number generator. Goodby, Rush
Limbaugh.

This should have already worked properly if random(4) has been
initialized correctly, but it seems that this is frequently not the
case.  Instead, use the microsecond part of the current time as the
seed.

John Baldwin 59c2bcbae9 Correct an error in the previous revision. RAND_MAX is the maximum value
for rand(3), not random(3).  random(3) is defined to return values between
0 and 2^31-1, so add a local RANDOM_MAX constant to this file that is
defined as 2^31-1 and use that in place of RAND_MAX.

(For those interested: this is intented to extend the space between

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.

Ruslan Ermilov 6325a5d282 Trim more cookies, by playing with different hash functions,
e.g., by trimming all non-alphabet characters and whitespace,

displays all fortunes that have the same hash, and allows to
remove one of them.  The rest is written to stdout.
