compress uses setfile() to make flags, ownership and mode of the output
the same as those of the original. However, if the filesystem holding the
output file doesn't support these operations, compress prints a warning.
This bites a bit with NFS directories, which always fail the chflags()
operation. If the file system doesn't support the operation, then the
flags data wasn't valid on the original file anyway, so the warning is
spurious.

The $Id$ line is normally at the bottom of the main comment block in the
man page, separated from the rest of the manpage by an empty comment,
like so;
.\" $Id$
.\"
If the immediately preceding comment is a @(#) format ID marker than the
the $Id$ will line up underneath it with no intervening blank lines.
Otherwise, an additional blank line is inserted.

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.
