It IMO makes sense to compress large and rarely viewed doc files like change logs. This seems to be common practice on Debian etc.

With current cygport, the following results in ChangeLog and ChangeLog.gz in the docdir:

src_install()
{
  ...
  dodoc ChangeLog
  gzip -9 -n "${D}/usr/share/doc/${PN}/ChangeLog"
}

The attached patch fixes this and also adds some missing documentation.

Subject: [PATCH] dodoc: Skip a file if a compressed version already exists

This prevents that __prepdoc() also adds the uncompressed version
of a default doc file if src_install() installed the compressed
version.  Also add missing documentation about the handling of
FILE.md, FILE.rst and FILE.txt.
