i don't understand this.  awk is bwk's ota source, with some minor tweaks to fit the
environment.  it works well, and allows portable awk to be written.  can you
explain what is to be gained by a re do?  i don't think "doesn't use ape" per ce
is a good argument.  it would have to be explained what this enables.  i can't see
that part.
