Does this file still need to be in FreeBSD? It may have been a novelty back 
in the day but IMO calendar.history has nothing to do with BSD, computers 
or anything else of interest to FreeBSD. At the very least this file should 
be moved to ports or better yet, removed entirely. I simply don't see the 
point of it being in the tree and distributed with an O/S, any O/S.
