Do you have MANZ defined (to "YES" or something) and MANCOMPRESSED not
defined? pkgsrc does do some automated compressing of manual pages.

It is possible that the xorg build is compressing, but I just don't see it
(yet) in xc/config/cf/.

By the way, I am also having problems with man pages and xorg. If Debian,
then it uses different suffix for section 4 and 7, than other Linux. But
when I force it to change (and it works) by predefining DriverManSuffix
and MiscManSuffix, the DriverManDir and MiscManDir are changed too. I
tried setting them, but didn't happen. I think I'll need to patch the
original source to not define MiscManDir and DriverManDir if they are
already defined.
