[PD-dev] build error

It's actually, the "-e" option to 'echo', which means "interpret  
extended syntax", like "\n".  Not all 'echo's support it.  Your  
'echo' does not, it just echos the "-e" and "\n" unchanged.

Basically, someone needs to rewrite that chunk to not rely on a  
specific version of 'echo'.  I think it could be done with 'sed'  
easily, or perhaps 'printf', if anyone wants to give it a shot.
