Hi,

at Gentoo latest version of the dash shell doesn't support "echo -n"
anymore[1]. The result is that x2gpath returns every path with a
prefixed "-n " when dash is used as /bin/sh.
Accoring to "man p1 echo" section "APPLICATION USAGE" applications
should not rely on "echo -n" but use printf instead.
The attached patch does exactly that.

Kind regards
Lars
