Global changes
--------------
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.
console_codes.4
random.4
dir_colors.5

glob.7

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(1), 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.

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