The %b formatter is too generic for us to use, as a sequence such as
'\b' is invalid for hex escaping, but valid for %b. Port over the logic
from util-linux's mangle mini-lib and use this instead. This supports
both 3 digits hex as well as 3 digit octal escapes, and will ignore the
more generic ascii based single character escapes. Output is always in
octal format to comply with fstab(5).
* the Makefile uses m4 to build the common lib into the scripts
* it includes install, uninstall and clean targets
* the dist target creates a source tar from a tag
