Check if AWK supports match() function with 3 parameters (GNU
extension). If successful execute ACTION-IF-SUCCESS otherwise
ACTION-IF-FAILURE.

This work is heavily based upon testawk.sh script by Heiner Steven. You
should find his script (and related works) at
<http://www.shelldorado.com/articles/awkcompat.html>. Thanks to
Alessandro Massignan for his suggestions and extensive nawk tests on
FreeBSD.
