Switching to raw mode when viewing COMPRESSED logrotated files comes
to a view of contents of archive (not very readable thing)

OK. I tried to view man pages. The actual width of man pages is not 64
characters so I see almost all rows breaked earlier then it actually
ends and all man looks like:

bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
bla bla
bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
bla bla

Is that OK?

The patch fixes problem viewing rotated bzip2 files. There are more
like gzip and uncompressed files (like SQUID logs which are not
located in /var/log), where the problem persists

Maybe it would be better to make this a config option? Or to use it
only in man dirs rather then excluding log dirs?
