Given that Sun published a bash binary with a correctly working "echo", I would 
guess that it is always possible to make it PPSIX compliant.


The Linux people miss-interpret POSIX with their "echo" behavior. POSIX 
requires the backslash escapes to work on a certified UNIX unless it is inly 
certified as an embedded OS.
