FYI minor ports bug..

Just installed FreeBSD 2.2.7 and several ports are failing during
"make install". These ports all declare MAN1= ... in the Makefile.
The install is failing because it's apparently trying to compress
the man pages, but they're already compressed, so it's getting
"File not found" errors.

I apologize if this is "old news" but figured it may have something
to do with recent ELF changes to the ports (also I don't read -ports).
An example is xview-config.

The easy workaround is to comment out the MAN1= ... line in the
Makefile

Thanks,
-Archie
