Bug Description
Binary package hint: screen
I would like to be able to specify a flag to 'backtick' that would interpret the results and render any markups in a hardstatus command.
This would greatly benefit the screen-profiles project, particularly for the unique logo generated per distribution.
Currently, a different static profile must be generated at package build time for each distribution.
Ideally, I'd create a "logo" script, with a case statement, switching on the distribution shown in lsb_release (or /etc/issue), and echo'ing the colored and marked-up logo accordingly.
I'll take a crack at a patch to support this...

Just a reminder to self...
The relevant code looks to be somewhere around screen.c, MakeWinMsgEv().
