Oops. Actually, it isn't. Forgot to mention that no /etc/xzgv.conf is included in the package.

xzgv.conf is no longer part of the package anymore, it's nowhere to be seen =/
I fixed the man issue though and added a security patch... from the official page:

WARNING: There is a known vulnerability in xzgv 0.8 (and all previous versions) such that suitably-constructed images can be made to run arbitrary commands (as the user) when viewed with xzgv. This has the potential to cause serious trouble, so I strongly recommend applying this patch (with e.g. "patch -p0 <xzgv*.diff") before compiling. This is intended as a temporary measure until I can put together a more comprehensive fix (which would be complicated and isn't likely to happen soon), but should be effective in the meantime.
