Fix: generate header missing echo -e for escape chars

"why is the -e needed ? What was the experienced oddness ?"

   The \n wasn't getting evaluated to a newline and was being inserted
into the header file as '\n'

   From man echo(1):

       If -e is in effect, the following sequences are recognized:

       \\     backslash

       \a     alert (BEL)

       \b     backspace

       \c     produce no further output

       \e     escape

       \f     form feed

       \n     new line

       \r     carriage return

       \t     horizontal tab

       \v     vertical tab
