 * How does this affect USE_IMAKE ports?  Will we have to add MANx= sections
 * for X11 ports?

Yes, that's what I was thinking.

 * 		   Looking at /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/FreeBSD.cf and
 * /usr/share/mk/bsd.port.mk, I can't find where we don't compress the
 * manpages if NOMANCOMPRESS is defined.  I'm sure I'm missing something
 * somewhere...

No, I'm assuming it's going to install compressed manpages.  This is a
way to let bsd.port.mk uncompress man pages that are already installed 
compressed.

By the way, if you want to let your imake generate non-compression
manpage rules, you can define CompressManPages to NO.

 * Are we talking about autogeneration part of pkg/PLIST?  If not, do we
 * want to look at getting the manpages from PLIST?  I see room for
 * inconsistancies between MANx= and pkg/PLIST.

Yes, to the first question.  Eventually we can rip out all the
manpages from pkg/PLISTs and let bsd.port.mk add them on the fly.
(With the correct suffix, so pkg_delete will work.)

But I don't know if we will go that far.  Right now it is only to
satisfy the porters who want to uncompress manpages depending on the
value of NOMANCOMPRESS.
