So at this point I've done some Googling, and it doesn't look like vim
has an equivalent to perl's \xXX (to search for hex digit XX), so my
solution would be either

  :1,$!perl -pe "s/\\x92/'/g"

or

  :%s/[^[:print:]]/'/g

The second one is inelegant, but it will get the job done if you have
no other non-printable characters in the file.  (The first one just
lets perl do the heavy lifting.)
