[gridengine users] 8.1.0 appears to have old manpages.

[Maes, Richard]

Reuti,
I verified that a less submit.1.gz provides correct output, but a less
qsub.1 and qsub.1.gz both fail.  Obviously there is only a symbolic link
of qsub.1 -> submit.1  and there is no qsub.1.gz file or symbolic link
at all.

This should work. A `less` with the same file succeeds?
