Those are the only two shell scripts that use awk at run-time (as
opposed to compile-time).

(1) is right out since it would mean that I wouldn't be able to
compile e2fsprogs on my system without first uninstalling gawk. Not
Going To Happen.
(2) is better, but it will force everyone to install gawk on their
system if they want to install comerr-dev.
However, the awk swcript was originally written to be highly portable,
so I expect that it should work just fine regardless of whether gawk
or mawk is installed on a particular system.
