Nope. According to the official specification, echo doesn't accept any
switches. OTOH, the GNU version doesn't support the \c sequence. IOW,
there is no portable way to echo a string without appending a newline.
What about the echo that is included with GRASS: $GISBASE/etc/echo?
It suppresses a new line if the -n flag is used, and prints to stderr if
-e is used, otherwise stdout.
Might be another use for it?
