I have a solution for the compression of man pages that I believe 
incorporates all the suggestions you gave and works well. It's certainly 
an improvement of the last version. I'll submit that shortly.

For replacing the -empty param, the most elegant thing I've found is:

find . -mindepth 1 -depth -type d -exec rmdir "{}" + 2>/dev/null || true

Anything else is a lot more code and more cumbersome. If the || true in 
this instance is unacceptable, then I will probably just submit the 
changes for the compression section and maintain this modification as a 
private patch or sed command for myself.

Please advise.

Thanks,
