+Besides general regression testing to ensure everything still works
+with nawk instead of gawk, following GNU awk extensions should be implemented
+or handled somehow (the list is probably incomplete, please add entries 
+if anything is missing):
+
+* String functions: gensub()
+* Time functions: strftime(), systime()
+* --posix flag, which would switch off nawk extensions over POSIX awk (?)
+* special file names: /dev/pid, /dev/ppid, /dev/pgrpid, /dev/user,
+       /dev/stdin, /dev/stdout, /dev/stderr, /dev/fd/X
+* special variables: ARGIND, ERRNO, FIELDWIDTHS, IGNORECASE, RT, RSTART,
+       RLENGTH
+
+Also, the manpage should be improved to be generally more helpful
+and document extensions over what POSIX says about awk.
