Yeah. I'll put the changes together tonight. The main thing is `echo
-[en]'. I'm thinking I'll probably take Bruce's suggestion and add a
feature test for echo in functions and then change any echo's needing
special formatting to $ECHO. Here's the test (probably not that
robust):
case "`echo -e -n test`" in
-[en]*) ECHO=/bin/echo ;;
*) ECHO=echo ;;

I'll probably drop in the changes I've made since I won't get to the
posh testing tonight. I'll fix up anything later after I try that out.
