awk is installed in /usr/bin, but this version doesn't support strftime, 
I'll need to install gawk for that. No idea why they don't check awk 
capabilities during install, most anything else I install tells me I 
need GNU awk if the app requires it.

Since this machine is MS only, I've installed nothing else on it, so 
nothing required GNU awk. Sendmail compiled fine with awk vs gawk.
