    Argh  -  now  I remember why we tried to avoid awk as much as
    possible.  Why do the sun guy's ship such a crippled  version
    for  a  good  old UNIX V7 tool? I rememver that MINIX already
    had a better one! DAMNED BLOODY MOTHERF...

    And I discovered  another  problem  with  it  too.  The  path
    replacements  in  various  scripts  (especially those loading
    shared objects at runtime) need to use the ones from the temp
    installation. But that's surely hackable.
