Thanks for that - fixing a gettext nano-release with an extra .#
autopoint dislikes.

It would be a kindness if the maintainer built the docs and
provided a gawk-doc package like other distros with the next
gawk release.
It would be nice if it included the examples, manuals, and
cards in man, info, html, ps, and pdf formats, unlike most
distros.
Can never have too many doc formats, depending on what you're
doing, what you're looking for, and what you have available.
Regular man and info are good for grepping, html single page
is good for phones and ereaders, multi page and PDF are better
on tablets and desktops.
