With that logic this echoes "echo". Question about echo!

echo `echo ` doesn't echoes anything. And it's logic. But echo `echo `echo ` ` does echoes "echo". What's the logic of it? the `echo `echo ` inside of the whole (first) echo, echoes nothing, so the first echo have to echo nothing but echoes "echo" (too much echoing :P):o

DESCRIPTION

       gimptool is a tool that can, among other things, build plug-ins or scripts and install them if they are distributed in one source file.

       gimptool can also be used by programs that need to know what libraries and include-paths Gimp was compiled with. This is especially  useful
       in Makefiles.

       On  Unix,  gimptool  is	a script. On Windows, it is a program. They should be more or less compatible. This manual page describes the Unix
       script version.
