From: Amadeusz Żołnowski <aide...@gentoo.org>
awk doesn't have the -i option like sed and if editing file in place is
desired, additional steps are required. eawk uses tmp file to make it
look to the caller editing happens in place.
New version of gawk (not stabilized yet) does support editing in place
but forcing user to install specific awk implementation is not desired.
