Ok.  Maybe a few more than a few days....

I consider it a deficiency, too, though this script is just a substitution
wrapper for systems without compress(1).  So, I have tweaked my bootstrap
script to automatically derive compress-dummy.1 from the unconfigured
script:  compress-dummy.in.  Thanks to help2man :-).  (It is not in a build
rule since I did not want to mess around with requiring the tool in order
to build the product.  The man page gets generated at bootstrap time and
is distributed.)

P.S.  Note to translators:  one small change over 4.6.2:  I corrected the
name of an external package.
