Except for the fact that 'share/' is wrong for FreeBSD (which you know,
I guess ;-), I see what you mean. A fix for that might be to check the
directory for something matching on
man/man[0-9]/*.[0-9]
and append it automatically with a .gz in the ${_PYTHONPKGLIST} record
file within the add-plist-pymod target in bsd.python.mk
Can you upload the port shar somewhere for a test?
