Hi Frederic,

    Texinfo modified its behavior regarding apostrophes, which are now
    replaced by UTF-8 right single quotes by default.

Sorry to hear it, but not surprised.

    -GNU's Not Unix.
    +@verb{.GNU's Not Unix..}

I don't think there's any guarantee that verb quotes will also be
"helpfully" changed in the future. One wouldn't think so, but ...

So instead, I changed the test document to avoid apostrophes. Pushed the
below. Hope it flies. --thanks, karl.

Texinfo modified its behavior regarding apostrophes, which are now
replaced by UTF-8 right single quotes by default.
It looks like this was supposed to be the default for few years already,
but this behavior was broken so far.

Use the @verb construct in order to ensure that the quotes are kept
has-is, so that we can easily grep for "GNU's Not Unix".
