I was reading this thread on the digest, and well... nawk has been in
the ports tree for some time now, not to mention that OpenBSD adopted
it...

Yes, I know that gawk is faster, but isn't nawk the one true (new) awk?

I'm not sure if we are using some GNU awk extension on our installation,
but I am curious unto why this change was never made.

cheers,

    Pedro.
