Just what I don't want: People adding more and more dependencies on bash. The portable way is to use $echo, where echo="/usr/bin/gettext" if it exists or "echo" otherwise. Remember everybody that bash is essential mainly because it "officially" provides /bin/sh, not because we can't do anything without /bin/bash.
