  Log:
  man(1) can't handle compressed included files.
  
          Some ports will install with compressed manpages. man handles
          this by looking for the .gz version of a man source file.
          It is also common to include other files with the .so
          directive where commands or functions share a man page.
          Traditionally ports have had to handle this by either not
          compressing the manpages, or using the _MLINKS macro in the
          port makefile to create symlinks to the actual source file,
          rather than using .so versions. Notably, the current version
          of Xorg port breaks. See ports/113096 and ports/115845.
