In conclusion, I think it would make sense to do the following:

* Add support for "echo -E" (no-op) and possibly ignore "echo -e".
* Fix the bug with the source command
* Consider whether to add support for --version to various Eshell commands.
* Decide what, if anything, to do with some of the su/sudo options listed above.

While it would probably make sense to wait a bit longer to see if anyone has comments on my audit of the existing Eshell built-in commands, I've implemented the first two points here (not "echo -e", though).

The changes to `source' and `.' might warrant a NEWS entry, since it's a (small) incompatible change; however, I think it's so rare that someone would call "source --help" that it might not be worth adding to NEWS. I'll do whatever others think is best here, though.
