The manpage-generating script no more add an extra backslash to \\$. The generated manpage now has no syntax errors.

Technical details described in the issue #1398.

Looking into the diff it might be radical just to remove the replace() call. Comparing the manpages generated before and after I couldn't see a negative effect. Also in the future the manpage generation process will get replaced by a new script using pythons code introspection mechanic.

Fix #1398

Just merging this because the core code base isn't involved and I see risk.
