What I am about to say does not apply to just this port, but to all
ports in general.  When we went to compressed manual pages in /usr/src
we put a know on it (from /etc/make.conf no_way should really be true):
#
# If you do not want unformatted manual pages to be compressed
# when they are installed:
#
#NOMANCOMPRESS= no_way

It has annoyed me that people are putting man compression in all the
ports without using the knob.  Satoshi, is there same way to add a
``MANPAGES= blah'' list to the bsd.port.mk files that would do the
manual compression just like we do it for the /usr/src tree?  I don't
like compressing things, disk drives are cheap for me and I hate
to wait when I want to read a manual page, and I hate to have the
slow down happen when running make install!
