Oh, that's ok then; I hadn't actually tried them when I wrote that.
The character classes [:alpha:], [:space:], [:graph:] are not
universally supported on different awks, and I was going to replace
them with explicit regexps to make the scripts more portable.

However, if they are supported by [bn]awk, then it makes the scripts
much easier to read if we leave them in.
