With tr I have to take into account all the special chars :(. It won't
change "\ " into " ", since it only works on single chars. Rod's
suggestion of sed looks like it should work, if I can get sed to behave
the way it seems it should or failing that find out how sed actually
behaves :). That would actually fix something else for me as well.

For now I'm using perl on the file after it was created. Already had to do
that for something else, so it's not a great sin, just something else to
try to move back to shell later on :).

ciao,
