+descr
+ Apparently, for as of yet undetermined reasons, gawk as built on IRIX
+ under pkgsrc croaks on regular expressions including a combination of
+ alpha- and numerical matches, such as the rather trivial
+ /^[ \t]*[0-9]+/
+ Let's use the system's AWK (ie nawk) for this package to avoid
+ breaking hundreds of dependents.
+ Speculation: somehow the regular expression library used to build gawk
+ conflicts with the systems regular expression library or some such.
+ Note: gawk from SGIs freeware collection depends on expat -- why is
+ that? Does that have anything to do with anything?
