Yet another revision, #dos2ansi v1.6.3
https://github.com/Zirias/dos2ansi/releases/tag/v1.6.3--- brings yet another subtle bugfix in #showansi: To set the title with an escape sequence, it uses "printf %b" with its \-notation for control characters, so literal backslashes in the title must be escaped as well 🙈
Apart from that, added nice "portability bikeshed":
- Removed the dependency on 'sed' again, quoting/escaping strings for 'eval' *can* be done in pure #POSIX #shell script.
- Added proper detection of the POSIX shell to my #zimk build system, along with variables to override the choice. Used that to generate the shebang for #dos2ansi. Really an awesome way to write /bin/sh without writing /bin/sh 😂 (rumors say there *are* POSIX systems with the compliant shell in a different path ...)
