Release tarball includes src/pixz.1 and I don't need a2x to create it; fine.
But "make install" does not install the man page (if src/pixz.1 existed when I ran ./configure).
A quick fix would be to modify src/Makefile.am so that
man_MANS = pixz.1
is not within the 'if MANPAGE' block.

Thanks, nice catch! But wouldn't that break if building from git using --without-manpage? Hmm

Sorry, yes, so maybe configure.ac needs be modified?

Or just document in README that a prebuilt manpage is in src/pixz.1 and it need be manually copied into $prefix/share/man/man1.
