ash/echo/POSIX/SUS

[Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>]

OK, I think we've all wasted enough time on this matter for now.

Here's a summary of what has happend:

* I released a version of ash with echo that was SUS compliant (this is also
  POSIX compliant).  This was foolish because we're less than 2 weeks away
  from the freeze and that we've got a huge number of scripts that aren't
  POSIX compliant in this respect.

* With the freeze in mind, I've reverted to the old behaviour for potato.

* For the release after potato, we need to make a decision on whether to
  change the policy to not requrie POSIX compliance on #!/bin/sh scripts
  or actually enforcing it.

So let us stop wasting time and concentrate on the release.
