Mandriva policy is to ship compressed man pages. As zshall.1 just does
".so zsh*.1" for other manpages, it fails and zshall actually contains
only preamble.
I could work around it locally, but just wanted to know how widespread
compressed man pages are?
Looking in groff manual I do not see any possibility to include output
of external program, so unfortunately uncompressing on the fly is
probably out of question.

FreeBSD installs compressed manpages, and the zsh port runs the zhsall.1
manpage through /usr/bin/soelim before it compresses and installs it.

Debian's man uses zsoelim which handles compressed files transparently.
You might want to co-opt that for Mandriva.

Ditto for MacPorts.
