Did you see my proposal from yesterday?  It would only consist of three 
files (maybe four if a man page is created).  The procedure would be a 
couple of simple install commands.  No need for a Makefile or separate 
gawk files.  The gawk scripts are embedded in the bash file.

Sometimes it's easier to start over rather than fix an ancient, 
out-of-date procedures.

What I did was one short bash script for both protocols and services, 
but that could be easily split into two: update-iana-services and 
update-iana-protocols.
