The file magic.inc is produced by make using the following code in
file/Makefile:
magic.inc: magic
echo -n "\"" > $@
sed -e 's/\\/\\\\/g' -e 's/"/\\\"/g' -e 's/$$/\ \\/' magic >> $@
echo -n "\"" >> $@
This does not work since MacOSX 10.5, because `echo -n` when run from a
sh shell does not do what it is supposed to do, namely printing a line
without carriage return at the end; instead it prints "-n" and then
the line, plus CR. The fix is to replace "echo" by "/bin/echo" which
interprets the -n option correctly.
