Hello folks,

I've taken the gawk package throufh some maintenance recently. The specfile was not conforming to Fedora Packaging Guidelines anymore, and was becoming outdated. I tried to bring it to FPG as close as possible, therefore 2 new optional subpackages have been created:
 * gawk-devel - contains the /usr/include/gawkapi.h header file
 * gawk-doc - contains additional HTML, PDF and PS documentation (from upstream

If anyone who occasionally may need these documentation in these formats always can download original texi files and generate doc in any format. Such needs now are so rare that distributing copies of such doc (just in case) as packages is IMO waste of time and resources.
Other thing is that documentation should be integrated in packages and market as %doc.
