I'm slightly bemused as to why it makes a difference (for this purpose)
whether the manpages are compressed or not, and I would have thought
that we would generally want to ship manpages as compressed for reasons
of disk-space efficiency.  Can you explain where exactly that conflict
comes from and why uncompressing the man pages resolves it?

This change isn't mentioned in either the short or long commit messages
and, as I mentioned in my previous email, it looks like it will cause
some complications with the LICENSE.
