Still insert a ".ft C" before and ".ft" after, but do it in a way as to
avoid them to get escaped with "\&", which makes the manpages look pretty
bad. Do it in a more docbook-xsl'ish way.

Actually, the escape thing seems to be a regression in docbook 1.72
which is supposed to be fixed in 1.73...

Anyways, I think it'd still be better to do this in the .xsl file.

Forget it, it fails with docbook-xsl 1.73.1...

Sorry for the noise.
