passmenu: don't use awk

Prof. Aho always seemed neat, but parsing a script inside a script for
the simple purpose of removing the trailing new line seems a bit absurd.
So, instead use two processes! One for getting the first line and one
for removing the trailing line. Everybody loves more calls to fork(),
right?
