[PATCH] Fix man page breakage on non-Latin-1 terminals (1.7.900)

lintian reported that there were errors in the man page (yes, I build yadex
.debs):

usr/share/man/man6/yadex.6.gz 315: warning: can't find numbered character 233

This is "é", so I've replaced all occurrences with "\('e"; similarly, "ë"
becomes "\(:e". These are translated and displayed correctly regardless of
the terminal's character encoding.
