Hi,

In texi2pod.pl from wget 1.21:

    # Change double single quotes to double quotes.
    s/''/"/g;
    s/``/"/g;

This seems to be done unconditionally. But this is incorrect in
verbatim text, such as

@example
wget -X '' -X /~nobody,/~somebody
@end example

Thus one ends up with

        wget -X " -X /~nobody,/~somebody

in the wget.pod file, and the man page is affected too, since it is
obtained from wget.pod.
