================
>Description:

The editors/xemacs21 port (version xemacs-21.1.14) gzips source
gnu{serv,client,doit,attach}.1 man pages and installs them with ".gz"
suffixes.  The latter three files still reference the un-gzip'd, ".1"
man pages, so the man command fails for those three.
================
>How-To-Repeat:
man -P cat gnuclient gnudoit gnuattach
================
>Fix:

The xemacs21 port maintainer could change Makefile to do something like
sed 's/\.1/&.gz/' before compression, but there's probably some bsd.port.mk
gizmo that didn't get used (or bsd.port.mk needs a new gizmo).
