Grab distfile from ${MASTER_SITE_LOCAL} where it's in a ${PKGNAME}-specific directory since the distfile has no version number. Use the .shar instead of .tar.gz distfile to remove the need for dependencies to build this package. Changes from nawk-20040207 include: Apr 24, 2005: modified lib.c so that values of $0 et al are preserved in the END block, apparently as required by posix. thanks to havard eidnes for the report and code. Jan 14, 2005: fixed infinite loop in parsing, originally found by brian tsang. thanks to arnold robbins for a suggestion that started me rethinking it. Dec 31, 2004: prevent overflow of -f array in main, head off potential error in call of SYNTAX(), test malloc return in lib.c, all with thanks to todd miller. Dec 22, 2004: cranked up size of NCHARS; coverity thinks it can be overrun with smaller size, and i think that's right. added some assertions to b.c to catch places where it might overrun. the RE code is still fragile. Dec 5, 2004: fixed a couple of overflow problems with ridiculous field numbers: e.g., print $(2^32-1). thanks to ruslan ermilov, giorgos keramidas and david o'brien at freebsd.org for patches. this really should be re-done from scratch. Nov 21, 2004: fixed another 25-year-old RE bug, in split. it's another failure to (re-)initialize. thanks to steve fisher for spotting this and providing a good test case.
