Summary: Troff outputs garbled file names on MS-Windows

Details:
A command such as this:
troff -ms \usr\share\man\man1\addr2line.1
when invoked on MS-Windows, produces the following diagnostics:
\usr\share\man\man1☺ddr2line.1:136: macro error: .TH without .TS H
(recovering)
The funny smiley after "man1" is the glyph produced by emitting a Ctrl-A
(ASCII 0x1) code on the Windows console. The reason for this is that the
backslashes in the file name are interpreted.
Is the attached patch a good way to fix this?
