Yo!

[Cc:-ing gnupg-devel - if this is not appropriate please tell me and
I'll not do it again.]

On some installations, there are display problems with manpages in
Unicode locales. This is not a gpg bug, but the gpg manpage triggers
this by incorrectly using '-' where '\-' should be used.

Please ask Colin Watson or Michael Piefel for details, I don't know
anything about man/groff.

The display problem:
