>Description:
        Currently our man(1) does not know, what to do with a
	bzip2-compressed manual page.

	The patch adds this ability and defaults to using bzip2 as the
	compressor and modifies the bsd.own.mk to use bzip2 and .bz2 as
	extensions.

        When commited, and entry should be added to UPDATING to advise
	users to summarily remove their .gz man-pages and adjust their
	/etc/make.conf files, where some set COMPRESS_CMD/COMPRESS_EXT .
