Ok... I think I will do this myself (sync /bin/echo and the sh built-in echo). I am going to sync them both to be the BSD normal (-n/-e), and I think I will throw in the GNU '-E' option as well. I will also add in an environment variable that will let peopel chosse the SysV if they need it. I don't know a good name for the variable,... current thoughts are 'echoopts' (that you would put '-e' or '-ne', whatever into), or 'SYSV' (that has the advantage of possibly a further scope, wher a person could export SYSV and get a more SYSV-ish environment all arround.
