This is wrong (but works fine with Portage),
<code>
local suffix=$(ecompress --suffix)
dosym foo.1${suffix} /usr/share/man/man1/foo.1${suffix}
</code>
What you really want to do is:
ssuomi...@foo /usr/share/man/man1 $ bzcat snice.1.bz2
.so man1/skill.1
This simple one-liner & "fake" manpage will link snice(1) manpage to
skill(1) manpage.
