The POSIX.1 man pages (sections 0p, 1p, 3p) have been moved out
of this package into the separate man-pages-posix package.
This made sense because those pages are seldom changed (only formatting
fixes, etc.) so that it was unnecessary to redistribute them with each
man-pages release.

s/`/\`/ for backquotes used in command substitution, for
proper rendering in UTF-8.
Various pages
mtk, after a note from Stuart Brady
Using /'x'/ to denote a character (string) renders poorly in UTF-8,
where the two ' characters render as closing single quotes. On the
other hand, using /`x'/ renders nicely on UTF-8, where proper
opening and closing single quotes are produced by groff, but looks

ugly when rendered in ASCII. Using the sequence /\\aqx\\aq/
produces a reasonable rendering ('\\aq' is a vertical "apostrophe
quote") in both UTF-8 and ASCII. So that change is made in a
number of pages.

Varios pages
mtk
Replace form /`string'/ by /"string"/, since the former renders
poorly in ASCII.
