I have a constructed header file that uses an awk script to assemble
it from other parts.  I see Rhide variables for several GNU utilities,
but none for awk.  I want to set up a "User-specified compiler"
command line for this file to automate its creation, but I'd rather
use a Rhide variable for the awk command (which might be gawk or nawk
or tawk or mawk or even just awk, depending on the system and the
user) than use a "hard-coded" value, if that is possible.

If there is not already such a variable (and I haven't found it yet),
how could I add one to the list of Rhide variables?  Just update
"$(rhide_src)/rhide.var"?

TIA for any help or info you can provide.
