Are you talking about disk space consumption or the time for
`make world' to complete because of gzip *.1 etc?

With my current modifications, you can do

%install -S /usr/src/usr.bin.xinstall/install.1 /usr/share/man/man1

and create a symlink.  This frees up about 3.5MB, and there is no
gzipping done.  If you want to free an additional 2.5 to 3 MB, then
add a `-z' options.

%install -S -z /usr/src/usr.bin.xinstall/install.1 /usr/share/man/man1

This creates a symlink pointing at a gzipped install.1 in the src tree.
