 Hi,

 this is not portable for wingrass:
 {{{
 echo "abc" | sed -e 's|b|\n|'
 }}}

 on linux you get the newline:
 {{{
 a
 c
 }}}

 but in WinGrass you just get a quoted "n":
 {{{
 anc
 }}}

 damage from this is only cosmetic AFAICT (`r.in.wms -l` without xml2), but
 there may be other places where it matters more.
