I think error(1) was in the base system, but it was disconnected
from the build at some point. There was even a PR in GNATS about
it, though I can't really remember the details now.. oh wait,
there are even two of those: 19404 and 23233 :) In a followup
to the second one, Chris Faulhaber has suggested that this be made
a port; however, you might still want to contact Kris for details
about just why did he consider it non-working enough to be removed,
or David O'Brien for information if it would be easy to re-add it
to the base system.
And one more comment :)

How about:
.if !defined(NOMANCOMPRESS)
.for i in 1
.ifdef MAN${i}
MAN$i:= ${MAN$i:C/$/.gz/}
.endif
.endfor
.endif
The ".for i in 1" is somewhat stupid :) But it scales well.. :)
If there really are no other sections to be added in the future:
.if !defined(NOMANCOMPRESS)
MAN1:= ${MAN1:C/$/.gz/}
.endif
Oh, and BTW: error(1) is completely unneeded if you use vi, vim,
emacs, or some other CC-aware editor ;) But it might be useful
in general..
G'luck,
Peter
