diff of changes to man source

The dot italics macros when not followed by a space cause the line to not be included in the man page.
Fixed three lines with this error.  The standard location of the .pc files was not being displayed because of this error.  -Lx:/some/path was not being displayed because of this error.

Deleted a space at the beginning of a line causing a break in the text that I didn't think was desired.

The macros to disable groff line adjustment warnings cannot be handled by man2html.  I didn't see any groff line adjustment warnings.
Removed the macros - man page seems fine.

Added breaks to one long line of source.

The macros do not cause a problem for command line display but as far as I can tell they are not needed and do cause a problem with man2html.  The attached file shows the differences.  I fixed the 0.25 man page I just downloaded today.

Looks like most of these got fixed in commit 35495b1, but I've added the one at the end since it looks right. Fixed in e10eee3.
