  This is strange indeed, but it seems to depend on the patch executable
that you use,
I just discovered, while trying to install my patch on a freebsd
machine, that on that system patch uses '-p0' option instead of '-p 0'
on Linux... Maybe you hit a similar problem.

  I am not against the idea of separating it out, but I would like to
be careful to avoid problems if we later decide that the scripts
should be run in a build directory (especially if we call a regenerated
script
in the build dir using the source dir awk script...)

  Of course generating the Awk Regression Index web page
without an installed awk binary will be difficult :)

OK.

  Could you tell us on which system you tried?

  The patch generated by
cvs diff -u -p -N 
doesn't contain any filemode information,
I don't know if this is possible with CVS directly,
but the files do have the executable permission set for user,
because this was suggested earlier in the emails.

  

  To discusss your changes more easily, I
generated a diff between my version and yours,
I will comment on this diffs below.

  This is not needed if we keep the exec permission for users
(or should it be for everyone?).

  This is one of the problems I saw, but wnted to fix only after
a first commit to have a minimal difference between ss and gdb/contrib/ari

  I am not sure this is correct:
calling doschk without arguments 
caused the program (if available)
to wait for input to analyze instead of analyzing files
given as parameters.
  Was your intent to test if the binary is available?
I think we must do this without calling it.
  Currently, id doschk binary doesn't exist,
line 302 of update-web-ari.sh will create an empty
doschk_out file (with some error probably generated by the shell)
but this is not a problem for me at least on cygwin or Linux

  OK, I am still a bit weak on some
shell basics, this means
use 'cp' only if test -f ${file}
returns zero, i.e. if the file exists.
   Is it really a problem to have a failing cp call here?

  Here also, your change improve the script quality,
and I would be glad to incorporate it later.

  One more problem I encountered on FreeBSD
is that 'awk' and 'gawk' are not completely equivalent and
gawk seems to generate output while
freebsd awk fails...
