To be able to tell the MacPorts maintainers that Info readers support compressed files, and what kind of compressed files are supported. So that they can spare some gigs of spaces on my machine. That's all. Honestly, it was a simple suggestion and I am totally amazed by the amount of talking it triggered. I'm fine if the suggestion is dropped, for whatever reason (not applicable, etc.). I'm done here. Cheers.
