- Avoid use of word that Americans don't know how to spell
- Avoid use of capital letters when referring to command names
- Bookmarks do span files
- Use .Qq where appropriate. I didn't use .Sq or .Dq where `' and ``''
appear, since it's not clear to me what modern usage of those two
macros is.
- Say simply: ``See .Xr xxx 1'' rather than ``See the .Xr xxx 1 command''.
This former style has undoubtedly increased in popularity due to
html and hyperlinks, but it's always been around (esp. for manpage
sections other than section 1).
- Use .St
- Dedocument use of `-' to mean that `more` should read from its
standard input. The modern preferred way to read from standard
input is by specifying /dev/stdin. This is not a prelude to changing
more's behaviour within the short term (ie. at least 3-4 years).

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.

As a footnote, the newreno code was partially derived from NetBSD

Don't uselessly set MANSRC ("." is in the path by default, and there are
no ordering problems).
Fixed some other style bugs.
Don't use MANDEPEND. It hasn't had anything to do with dependencies for
5-6 years, but is still being used, mainly in groff/*/Makefile, where it
amounts to just a macro giving the list of generated man pages. Since
all man pages in groff are generated (from .man to .[1-9]), it's simpler
to use the source names ({$MANX}) to give the list.
Fixed some other style bugs.
there happens to be a source file named install.sh. The null rule
for "install" in the NOINFO case must not be completely null, since
then it may be overridden by the implicit .sh rule.
