This can't be used, becaues awk is in /usr/bin, and /usr may not
be available at this time (e.g. on diskless systems with an NFS
/usr).
But see conf/21695:
http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=21695
It describes exactly the same problem, and I proposed a version of
your idea that avoids the use of awk by using sh builtins only.
