don't use echo -e

[River Tarnell]

the <prefix>/bin/exaile script is generated using 'echo -e ...'. Solaris /bin/sh's echo doesn't support -e, which means the file is generated as "-e #!/bin/sh". this doesn't work so well.

please remove the -e; i tested several shells (zsh, bash, Solaris sh, Solaris XPG4 sh, ksh88, ksh93) and all understood the \n escape without -e.

On Ubuntu 9.04, in bash:

user@host:~$ echo "foo\nbar"
foonbar
user@host:~$ echo -e "foo\nbar"
foo
bar

That's at least one popular shell that doesn't default to enabling backslash escapes.

fixed in trunk - we now use printf instead of echo, since it appears to be much more cross-platform compatible.
