    cmd: change suppress newline in echo command · d018734c

    By default the echo command emits its arguments followed by a line feed.
    
    If any of the arguments contains the sub-string "\c", the line feed is
    suppressed.
    
    This does not match shells used in Linux and BSD where the first argument
    has to be -n to suppress the line feed.
    
    The hush shell interferes with the parsing of backslashes. E.g. in the
    following command line quadruple backslashes are required for suppressing
    the line feed:
    
    for i in 1 2 3; do for j in 4 5; do echo \\\\c ${i}${j}; done; echo; done;
    
    To avoid unexpected behavior the patch changes echo to use -n as first
    argument to suppress the line feed.
