ce20386909 Initialize first to -1; this will create a (nearly) empty file on failure,
instead of looping until the disk is full.  This kind of failure can
especially happen when a version of awk that doesn't support POSIX
character classes is used.

5daeec1454 Revert rev 1.3 which moved us away from POSIX character classes.
The community feels our base AWK must handle them.

3a167df8c3 Bell-Labs AWK does not support POSIX "bracket expressions" (POSIXese for
"character classes", basically).  So change them to their character
representation.

378972ac6b Transition from using Perl to using awk for our text-manipulation
needs.  This removes the dependancy on Perl for the generation of the
loader, allowing the world to be built on a perl-free system.
