Building without perl

[David M. Williams]

OK, it fails on OX X.  Here's what I got.

me at somehost % awk -f mdoc2man.awk < sftp.1 > sftp.1.awkver
awk: newline in character class [
 ]$...
 source line number 47
 context is
        gth(line)&&!match(line,"[\n >>>  ]$") <<< )


the cmdline produced a zero length file, obviously.  I'm not an awk 
expert so I can't offer much help I'm afraid.
