- Update to version 4.1.0
* The three executables gawk, pgawk, and dgawk, have been merged into
one, named just gawk.
* The new -i option (from xgawk) is used for loading awk library files.
* The new -l option (from xgawk) is used for loading dynamic extensions.
* The dynamic extension interface has been completely redone. There is
now a defined API for C extensions to use. A C extension acts like
a function written in awk, except that it cannot do everything that awk
code can. However, this allows interfacing to any facility that is
available from C.
* The "inplace" extension, built using the new facility, can be used to
simulate the GNU "sed -i" feature.
* The and(), or() and xor() functions now take any number of arguments,
with a minimum of two.
* New arrays: SYMTAB, FUNCTAB, and PROCINFO["identifiers"]. SYMTAB allows
indirect access to any defined variable or array; it is possible to
"walk" the symbol table, if that should be necessary.
