gawk @3.1.8 --enable-switch not enabled.

[axkibe@…]

--enable-switch is not enabled for gawks macport build. It is necessary to work with scripts that have a switch statement in them. Both Linux and Windows version I tested have this enabled by default, so people just assume it to be widely avaiable.

Please enable it by default.

Simple patch makes it work:

It would be more helpful to attach the patch to the ticket rather than pasting the text inline in the description.
