Besides general regression testing to ensure everything still works
with nawk instead of gawk, following GNU awk extensions should be implemented
or handled somehow (the list is probably incomplete, please add entries
if anything is missing):
* String functions: gensub()
* Time functions: strftime(), systime()
* --posix flag, which would switch off nawk extensions over POSIX awk (?)
* special file names: /dev/pid, /dev/ppid, /dev/pgrpid, /dev/user,
/dev/stdin, /dev/stdout, /dev/stderr, /dev/fd/X
* special variables: ARGIND, ERRNO, FIELDWIDTHS, IGNORECASE, RT, RSTART,
RLENGTH
Also, the manpage should be improved to be generally more helpful
and document extensions over what POSIX says about awk.
