Man page currently does not escape dash character, what breaks in unicode mode - user can not copy and paste parameters. Attached patch fixes it and also adds hyphenation marks to long lines, so that they can be wrapped.

Just for the reference I'm attaching list of current problem in man pages. As apparently nobody is interested in the patch, I'm not going to spend time updating it.
