-If we have entries in MANPATH that are really symlinks to other entries,
-then many man functions will yield duplicate entries.
-
-Without this patch, we see this behavior:
-$ echo $MANPATH

-$ man --path
-/usr/share/man:/usr/man
-$ ls -ld /usr/share/man /usr/man
-lrwxrwxrwx  1 /usr/man -> /usr/share/man

-patch by William Throwe <wthrowe@mit.edu>
-
-The problem is that a failed match() resets the RSTART variable used to
-extract filename_no_gz (visible in the trailing context of the patch),
-so it is important that no more match() commands are attempted after the
-successful one.  Without the scoping, if (for example) the test for .bz2
-succeeds, it prevents testing for .lzma, but doesn't prevent testing for
-.xz.  The failing .xz test causes RSTART to be set to zero so
-filename_no_gz becomes the empty string.
