I have been using a similar bsd.man.mk for some time now, only differences
are that there currently is no option (COMPRESSMAN), and that the formatted
output in the source tree is also compressed, as I have a real crunch for
disk space. If there is interest in this, I could put it up.

BTW Everything works, man links, etc.
