Good job!  Thanks for following this through for us.  I took the liberty of 
renaming and lightly reformatting you new macro, but otherwise applied 
unchanged to HEAD.  I'm not overly keen on the use of awk, except perhaps 
here where the macro targets a particular class of machines (where presumably 
there is guaranteed to be an awk implementation installed).  However, more 
brownie points are available for converting the awk script into sed...

Cheers,
        Gary.

P.S.  Don't forget to send an entry for the ChangeLog.
