kconfig: made check-lxdialog more portable

OS-X shell did not like 'echo -e' so implement
suggestion from Al Viro to use a more portable construct.

This looks O.K. As a note, whatever behavior is being described here

works fine whether it is invoked as /bin/bash or /bin/sh which appears to be
a strict copy of /bin/bash.
