I meant to mention in the previous message...

Touching every *.gz file under /usr/man would be a bad idea, because there's
over 10,000 of them on a full Slackware install. Might take a while to run,
if nothing else.

But, not needed. Touching just the directories will be quick and is
actually what's required.
