Perhaps because sheldonh@ was lazy at the time to handle this
properly in src/gnu/usr.bin/awk/Makefile,v 1.14. It should
have either be imported as doc/awk.1, as it was before, or
the Makefile be tweaked like in other similar situations:
/bin/csh/Makefile:
csh.1: tcsh.man
ln -sf ${.ALLSRC} ${.TARGET}
No, I don't think that having /usr/bin/gawk is a good idea.
