For what it's worth... A problem I hit when developing webrev was that
some users had /usr/ucb first in their path. This means that \c at the
end of an echo string does not work for those users.
So if you want to stick with echo and work for all users, then either
you have to set PATH, or run /bin/echo. I opted to use printf since I
only needed one syntax and the -u2 syntax seemed cleaner.
