Here we have the problem with people using GRASS from
precompiled binaries.

I have just checked SUN's awk which offers:

awk
awk: Usage: awk [-Fc] [-f source | 'cmds'] [files]

I have applied your suggestion, Jan, and renamed to "gawk".

Moritz, could you try?

cvs up src/scripts/contrib/v.xfig

v.out.xfig
v.in.xfig

Maybe "gawk" is a requirement which can't be fulfilled everywhere,
then we should consider option 2.

Thanks for your suggestions,

 Markus
