After letting this go through my head for a day (it probably isn't
important anymore :-), I think it's better to add /usr/games to the
standard search path. Fortune is not a tool you use for anything other
than fun and does not really belong in a "serious" directory as
/usr/bin. On the other hand it's too frequently used to not have it
somewhere in a search path. Also, having games as part of FreeBSD
without a proper search path to them is also a bit odd.

Anyway, my 2c...
