#49775: texlive-bin: configure fails when nawk is installed

 texlive-bin fails to configure when the nawk port is installed but the
 gawk port is not:

 {{{
 config.status: creating c-auto.h
 nawk: illegal statement
  input record number 1, file c-auto.in
  source line number 54
 config.status: error: could not create c-auto.h
 }}}

 Similar errors are common in other ports. I guess many ports' build
 systems use awk syntax that is not compatible with nawk.

 We've been fixing this in other ports by patching the configure script so
 that it does not consider nawk as an awk candidate. Alternately, a
 configure argument can be added:

 {{{
 ac_cv_prog_AWK=/usr/bin/awk
 }}}
