Hi! While working on the "reproducible builds" effort [1], we have noticed that sprng could not be built reproducibly. It uses a bashism while generating example files; echo -e doesn't work with other shells like dash, it will embed the -e in the output. The attached patch fixes this by using printf instead. Regards, Reiner [1]: https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds
