Hello ports world,

Now that we have the post-install target in place, we can easily
compress all the man pages that are installed uncompressed.  I
recommend you to go through your pkg/PLIST, and if you find something
(say, man/man1/yikes.1) that's uncompressed, do the following:

(1) Change the line in PLIST to man/man1/yikes.1.gz
(2) Add the following to your Makefile

post-install:
	gzip -9nf ${PREFIX}/man/man1/yikes.1

Thanks!

Satoshi
