I understand your intention, but I depend on gawk because the fig2mpdf
patch requires it. Okay, to say the truth I don't know whether this
also works with mawk or other awk versions, but the upstream author
explicitly hard coded "gawk" instead of "awk". So I expect that this
one is needed.
I'm not very familiar with awk, so I don't have any idea how I could
find out whether awk or gawk is needed or whether any gawk specific
commands are used. Until someone can check this for me, I have to
stay with gawk...
Tschoeeee
