This is an absolute (kelvin) temperature. I expect that in the original
source it was typeset as $\sim 300~{\rm K}$ or similar, meaning
"approximately 300 K". Changing it to a minus sign in the fortunes file
was clearly an error, as absolute temperatures are by definition positive.

o Do similar things to expose the ntohl() family in libstand, <netinet/in.h>,

o Prepend underscores to the ntohl() family to help deal with
complexities associated with having MD (asm and inline) versions, and
having to prevent exposure of these functions in other headers that
happen to make use of endian-specific defines.
o Create weak aliases to the canonical function name to help deal with
third-party software forgetting to include an appropriate header.
