I should mention my sources:
http://gitweb.dragonflybsd.org/dragonfly.git/blob/c36bd8130d0f62a8100ba285df15fa44fc0c7e86:/games/fortune/strfile/strfile.h
vs strfile.h from
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/f/fortune-mod/fortune-mod_1.99.1.orig.tar.gz

(PS: The Linux version is definitely descended from the BSD version; I was
wrong about that.)
