More on this: Executing:

echo -e \\t\\tExecuting  scripts

under bash gives the right result, but sh doesn't (it includes the -e in
the output).

My guess is that Ubuntu's sh isn't conforming to the sh we
know and [love|hate]. I'll dig some more...

The echo built-in doesn't support -e.

Yeah, the -e is really only for bash. Perhaps you want to add the
SHELL = bash variable to the Makefile.
  strange, '-e' has been part of the makefile since day 1.
  I will change the tab requirement.
