Converts the newer [>= v4.4.1] xml-style Lexicon of ESR's Jargon File [local mirror] to a Unix fortune cookie file in the current working directory.
 
Suitable for the Unix fortune program [sources], or any file-format compliant Wintendo implementation of it like wfortune.
 
Assumes that $WDIR is defined as the TOP-level DIR of a Jargon File mirror.  See the mirror-jargon.sh script for an example of a working mirror-script.
 
 Also assumes that the GNU-equivalent of each of the commands is available.  Change the appropriate PROGRAMS definition to fit your command locations.
 This code is mostly portable across SysV systems - but YMMV.  On most Linux distributions you should not have to change anything but $WDIR.
 
 Arguments:
  -d          DEBUG mode [SPAMMY!]
  -h, --help  THIS MESSAGE
