Rik,
Check the origin of that apostrophe in the source code. Even the linux
variant doesn't seem standard. That apostrophe isn't something on the
conventional keyboard. I have ` and '. Ah, wait. That apostrophe is
coming from Tex's encoding, isn't it? Try a different Tex encoding
sequence to get the more conventional apostrophe.
Shouldn't Texinfo have put in a correct character? Or is it the fact that
the documentation was generated in a tarball originally destined for Linux,
and then not updated during the MXE build because the tarball goes out of
its way to avoid recreating the documentation?
Texinfo is using LEFT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK (U+2018) and RIGHT SINGLE
QUOTATION MARK (U+2019). These are “correct” characters, this is just
more of the known problems with UTF-8 encoded strings on Windows.
