Hello,

This is an attempt to simplify the current implementation. This
one does not require any temporary file anymore and relies only
on sort and (a rather basic usage of) awk.

I've checked the the Opensolaris' awk manual, trying to not
introduce some unsupported syntax. I still wonder about the
escaped newlines and the (currently commented) close()
statements, but both can be easily addressed. So, if someone
thinks it's worth testing...
