Eats backslashes

[Martin Langhoff]

Examples using cat to remove the shell parsing implicit in using echo.

$ cat somefile
foo\wbar
$ cat somefile | ./mush.sh
foowbar
$ cat somefile | ./mush.sh > someoutput
$ cat someoutput
foowbar

After some experimentation with replacing echo ${line} in some places with printf %q "${line} and read -r (see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/924388/sh-read-command-eats-slashes-in-input ) I might have a fix.

Ah good catch. I'd happily accept a PR !
