Any comments on this before I integrate it into mod_ftp?

I know of at least one remaining ugly: on Solaris 10, the tests for
missing awks result in a couple of

xxx: not found

/bin/sh, and I didn't want to follow AC_PROG_AWK's lead on parsing
PATH and checking for file existence in each PATH dir.
