Hi Satoshi & friends,

If I have this in the Makefile for my port:

MAN1=	foo.1

and this is in the PLIST for my port:

man/man1/foo.1.gz

Then if a user builds and installs my port with NOMANCOMPRESS=true (as
he / she may wish to do) the foo.1 should be installed uncompressed with
no .gz suffix.

If this happens, will pkg_delete for my port be smart enough to remove
foo.1 or will it try to remove foo.1.gz and fail?

Thanks,
Sheldon.
