Well, keep in mind that man won't look in /usr/share/*/man as configured
in the fedora man package. (Look in /etc/man.config for confirmation of
this). This will need to be fixed at the same time
as /usr/lib/rpm/bmp-compress.
It also won't look in /usr/share/doc/*/man (but rpm is configured for
it). I don't care which one we use, but either one will require changes
to the man package configuration.
