Moving dfa.h back to where it was is likely to break OpenVMS. See this in the gawk ChangeLog: 2013-01-31 Arnold D. Robbins <[email protected]> * dfa.c: Include "dfa.h" which includes regex.h after limits.h so that RE_DUP_MAX gets the correct value. Especially needed on OpenVMS. Thanks to Anders Wallin. In general, I don't do stuff like that without a reason, and the reason can usually be found in the ChangeLogs if you look (or check with me). I would prefer to have dfa.h after the standard includes in dfa.c. The current code works on Irix and other systems as is... Thanks though. Arnold
