 Hi,

 apparently "echo -n" is not portable, it fails on OSX 10.5


 I removed it from scripts/r.in.wms/wms.request, but these remain:
 {{{
 scripts$ grep -rIl "echo -n" * | grep -v '/.svn/'
 d.vect.thematic/d.vect.thematic
 i.in.spotvgt/i.in.spotvgt
 r.tileset/r.tileset
 v.db.renamecol/v.db.renamecol
 }}}


 v.db.renamecol is a false positive:
 {{{
 v.db.renamecol/v.db.renamecol:  #  'echo -n' (output as string, ie with no
 newline) is apparently not portable.
 }}}
