Oh!  I have LESSCHARSET set on my build system, and the nroff
script sets -Tlatin1 if I've set LESSCHARSET to latin1.  Hm, then
I think the build system should ignore that, and instead specify
-Tascii explicitly (unless it's told otherwise by a Makefile),
since the built man-pages should be "system and environment-
independent" in some fashion.
