085ca02717 man(1) can't handle compressed included files.
Some ports will install with compressed manpages. man handles
	this by looking for the .gz version of a man source file.
	It is also common to include other files with the .so
	directive where commands or functions share a man page.
	Traditionally ports have had to handle this by either not
	compressing the manpages, or using the _MLINKS macro in the
	port makefile to create symlinks to the actual source file,
	rather than using .so versions. Notably, the current version
	of Xorg port breaks. See ports/113096 and ports/115845.

4fd41a120c Fix previous commit. glob_filename() returns "(char **) -1" for certain
errors, not necessarily a pointer such that (intptr_t)pointer is -1.

Also fix the style bug that the cast was not followed by a space.
This style of this file is now perfectly non-KNF for this cast too.

65b1f0f74e Groff 1.18.1 comes in with ANSI color support, enabled by default.
In "nroff" mode, italic font renders as an underlined text, which
makes it indistinguishable from the bold text on color monitors
(cons25 terminal type), yet it requires the less(1)'s -R option.
(Refer to the new grotty(1) manpage for details.)

So turn off the color support for now (when generating catpages),
until we figure out what do we do with this new feature.  I have
a patch for grotty(1) that tells it to use the "reverse video"
attribute to render the italic font.  Once this is accepted, we
can turn color support back on (if there won't be any objections
from the community).
