I get Unicode double-quotes (E2 80 98 and E2 80 99) as well, in my
generated help files with the new Util/helpfiles (CentOS).

Incidentally, Martin, what's the logic/mnemonic behind using "-f" as the
command line switch for setting the character set?

# Optionally, you can pass -fLC_CTYPE as an additional first argument.
# If do that, this LC_CTYPE is used instead of one specified by a heuristic.
