[PATCH 0/7] Improve support for compressed man pages

[Alexander Miller <alex.miller-Mmb7MZpHnFY@public.gmane.org>]

Hi,

when I looked at the Makefile I noticed it has incomplete compression
support. Most notably the screen and uninstall targets didn't support
switching to a different compression type. More precisely, uninstall
supported only switching from gz or bz2 (but not xz) to uncompressed.
The screen target had no explicit compression support and when it
worked for compressed files it was pure luck.
The patches 2 and 3 provide new recipes for both targets that can
handle any combination of the supported compression types. Any file,
installed or source, may be uncompressed or compressed with any of
gz, bz2, or xz. Whether you compress before or after screen and uninstall
doesn't matter any more.
The other patches add a few minor improvements I'd suggest.

So long,
Alex
