This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
one is much more intelligent, not only that it would accept multiple
man page locations, it also behaves like ``make'' in that it will only
deal with cat pages that are out of date (by default).
Wolfram also wrote a man page for it.

more like binaries. This is hard to do using a general rules because
the natural `.sh:' rule has a null suffix and null suffixes are broken.
(With 1.1.5's make they sometimes work and sometimes cause core dumps.
2.0's make has a botched fixed and they never work.)
now, DO_COMPRESS. This controls whether or not catpages are compressed or
not (on by default, since little else uses the catpages and those few things
that do can always configure in a `zmore' in place of more or something, and
saving space is more important, IMHO).
Uncompression support is now on by default since that's the only way to support
mixed-mode environments. If you don't like it, just don't compress your man
pages and it won't be used! :-). Supports gzip. You can also compress
the man pages themselves (or gzip them) now and it will work.
