Not all /bin/echo implementations support the -e option. Instead, use
printf, which appears to be more widely available than /bin/echo -e.

See commit eaec1db "fdtget-runtest.sh: Fix failures when /bin/sh isn't
bash" for history.

I have tested this on Ubuntu 10.04 with /bin/sh pointing to both dash
and bash.

Mike, should I re-write this with you as the git author? If so, could
you please supply an S-o-b line for this?

Um.. this is made to apply on top of the /bin/echo patch, but AFAICT
that was never committed..

I believe it's commit eaec1db "fdtget-runtest.sh: Fix failures when
/bin/sh isn't bash"; my local git certainly shows Jon as the committer
for that change.

I just pulled from git.jdl.com and I don't see anything after
e4b497f367a3b2ae99cc52089a14a221b13a76ef, which was on Oct 16.
