The man page needs dash escaping in UTF-8 environments

There was a debian bugreport which was filed in 2005 . It was patched but
it seems that nobody forwarded the patch to the openvpn project itself.

The problem is quite simple:
The dashes for options (the double dashes) are not escaped. This causes
trouble in relationship with utf-8 .

Since the bugreport was closed it was patched within the debian/ubuntu
packages itself. I've attached the patch to get it atleast reviewed by the
openvpn project itself.

See <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=296133> for details.
