I think we're pretty close to the point where ‘ and ’ can be assumed to work "everywhere", but we're not quite there yet. But I'd hope that Debian builds would not follow that default and would tell make info to use things like ‘ and ’ since these chars should pretty much always work in a Debian system.
OK, attached is a patch to implement that suggestion, with the proviso that the default is to use curly quotes on Debian-like systems where UTF-8 support seems ubiquitous, and to use ASCII quotes elsewhere. This should simplify configuration on Debianish systems. The 'locale' command is used to check for UTF-8 support in English. This feels like a new feature, so I'm somewhat inclined to leave this stuff alone in the trunk until after the feature freeze is over.
