Your objection is a bit like saying "and don't use cat". I'm saying don't

No it's not, really. I don't want to see pipes, fork()s, disk seek,
when task can be done without it. I know, what awk is, and i hope it
will have its better time.

*shrug* Making the need for "gawk" go away was my goal, and gawk->awk was the
minimal change. If you want more than that, I'm not objecting, just not
personally interested.

Yes making uclibc as a bit more work, than rename things ;D. And my
change is mainly from optimization point of view (say modern embedded ;)

I believe "shift 5" is also SUSv3. :)

If you have tested, please send ack or nack to us.

Thanks.
