Why is this necessary? What Unix systems don't have a v7 compatible
/bin/awk? My makedefs.out has "AWK = awk", this does not justify
generating postfix-script on the fly. The AWK in makedefs.out records what
was used on the *build* machine to construct the software, it should not
be taken as a reliable indication of what to run on the *target* machine.
Do not confuse the build and install environments. If awk needed to be
configurable in Postfix, we would have a main.cf "awk_path" parameter.
