Pete,
I've applied your scipts, with the slight (manual) tweak that the "coding:"
line is added only to pages with UTF-8 in the source.
I've also checked your scripts into the scripts/ directory in the man-pages Git
repo. Maybe they'll come in useful someday or for someone else. Thanks for
doing the legwork on this issue.
Cheers,
Michael
