I've updated gawk to 3.0.5 and merged your work. gawk will now compile
(no more errors when you run "make") plus I made most tests work and
made comments to those that don't. So when someone can explain to
me why ixemul_exec doesn't compile, then we can fix the last bug
(fork()/exec()) and the gawk port would be complete.

Please note that you must add every function in a separate file. Otherwise,
they cannot be compiled into tools.
