Groff doesn't take compressed input, but at least most recent ones of
the many man implementations do. Also it's not necessary to format the
pages ("catman") in any system I know since Irix-<something>, so the cat
versions aren't generated.

You need to install the man pages and run makewhatis(1), mandb(1), or
whatever your system uses to update the whatis list and/or mandb index.
Then set MANPATH to include the SGE man directory ahead of the system
one with the useless POSIX version of qsub et al. If you have
compressed pages, make sure the links are from .gz to .gz.
The makewhatis stanza in the 8.1.0 rpm was wrong on Red Hat, but I think
that was fixed in the -2 versions, and that doesn't look like an rpm
installation. I reckoned it wasn't worth dealing with compressed
versions in the end and dropped that in 8.1.1.
