[PATCH] avoid echo -e, there are systems where it does not work

[PATCH] avoid echo -e, there are systems where it does not work

[Alex Riesen]

FreeBSD 4.11 being one example: the built-in echo doesn't have -e,
and the installed /bin/echo does not do "-e" as well.
"printf" works, laking just "\e" and "\xAB'.
