Actually, some googling revealed the following advice (in the Autoconf
manual):
Because of these problems, do not pass a string containing
arbitrary characters to echo. For example, echo "$foo" is safe if
you know that foo's value cannot contain backslashes and cannot
start with -, but otherwise you should use a here-document like
this:
cat <<EOF
$foo
EOF
This seems obviously safer, so I shall make it do that instead
of relying on either awk or echo.
