I don't see a point of complicating the Makefile more if we are already
passing `-r ourstuff.rb`.

One advantage of Ruby is that everything can be overriden, so we can
override the initialization of the Document object:

  module Asciidoctor
    class Document
      alias old_initialize initialize
      def initialize(data = nil, options = {})
        attributes = options[:attributes]
        case attributes['backend']
        when 'manpage'
          attributes['litdd'] = '\--'
          attributes['plus'] = '+'
        when 'xhtml5'
          attributes['litdd'] = '&#x2d;&#x2d;'
        end
        old_initialize(data, options)
      end
    end
  end

This does the trick for me for both backends, and it simplifies the
Makefile.

However, it's a hack for what seems to be a bug in asciidoctor. I'll
report the issue.

Cheers.
