Details

I have not been able to use the sh configuration command with escaped characters. For example, sh 'echo \\' will not print '\' on the screen. It seems all backslashes are being simply ignored... No example configuration file I have tested with commands that needed escaped quotes has worked (i.e. awesome integration examples).
This task depends upon

I suspect this is because you aren't using enough \\\\\\'s

After a few passes through uzbl-core its easy to lose a lot of backslashes.

I have determined it needs 8 backslashes. That is 2^3. A half is consumed by echo. What are the other two? Config parser and sh?
