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.
man pages (eg: named/bind/etc). In order to get (say) dig.1 to pass
through the filter and produce a new dig.1 for installing, I used an
intermediate file at build time, similar to the way the .gz man pages are
built.
I've not extensively tested this, but it seems to work for the known
cases where it was failing, and it only affects the NOMANCOMPRESS case
which was already broken.

pipe the man page source through before compressing or installing.
This can be used to do do (eg) sed substitution on man pages from
3rd party packages (in particular, ncurses and bind-4.9.4)
This should not affect anything already in the source tree.
failed when there was an obj directory. Use .PATH.n for installing too
so that make can find the source files. This allows the source files to
be in several directories (the old method using cd only works well for
a single directory). The dependencies are on the source files even for
the compressed case, although it would be more flexible to depend on the
files being installed, so that `make install' doesn't attempt to build
things
Force COPY to -c for the NOMANCOMPRESS case. Then the files to be installed
are always sources, so they must not be moved.
use .PATH.n to get the dependencies right and to avoid some shell tests.
Remove bogus dependency of individual compressed man pages on MANDEPEND.
Use for loops to avoid duplicated code.
Combine some rm steps in installation of links. Linking still takes too
long.
