[gpm]At last! Awk independence.

[Mark Hymers]

Hi,

Sorry for the repeated posts but we've got there this time.

Jason Gurtz and myself, having thrown ideas back and forward have made a
tiny adaption to Alessandro Rubini's new manpager and put in a little
sed hack which means that the man pages now build cleanly on gawk, mawk
and the original awk.

Hope this is acceptable.

The patch is against gpm-1.19.6 and includes Alessandro's alterations to
manpager.

Mark
