Thanks a lot for the investigation and the insights!
But,... how do we go on now? Because the MKK is now released with its new name, it makes sense for KUAL to refer to it as such (if only to avoid confusion). Thus, I think that we should release a new KUAL version, probably v 2.3.0. But at least all of the devs involved should be able to compile a working version of it. (I don't know for the others, but at least I can't with my Ubuntu 12.04 LTS -- and hey, I already upgraded from 10.04 LTS!)
So... Is there any (more or less easy) way to change the awk script so that it will also work with GNU awk 3.x? I apologize in advance for the headaches, but that would be terrific.*
(*) as a side note: I tend to keep my "main dev computer" on a well-tested and stable release. That is why I'm still on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (and had even been on 10.04 LTS until recently). I'm not at all opposed to testing newer stuff (in fact, my new laptop only works on debian/jessie), but I think that we should try to stick to a reasonable "lowest common denominator" when developing, instead of assuming that everyone has the latest and greatest version of all tools...
