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).
libraries so that `ld -f' in can create correct dependencies for
yet-to-be-built libraries.
Get the default BINDIR correctly (by including ../Makefile.inc recursively.
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.
