Yeah, I think that's what's needed.  Debian does tr \[oq] ' (only) and
I'm not sure if that's also be needed.  For latin1, it might be nicer to
keep ` as it is, and instead map ' and \[cq] to an acute accent.

I'm not sure where this should go -- Debian uses mandoc.local, but I
don't see why this should be man-specific.
