   The "make clean" rule in util/ss/Makefile.in removes the source files 
   ct_c.awk and ct_c.sed.  

Oops.  I generally don't build in the source tree, so I forgot about
that potential problem.

   It also incorrectly assumes that sed is in /bin/sed.

What system was sed not in /bin, and where was it?  I was under the
impression that POSIX required sed to be in /bin, but I could be
mistaken.  

   I have no idea why you replaced perfectly good C programs with this 
   awk/sed mess.  Makes things a real pain.

Because yacc/bison, lex/flex compatibility/portability issues are even
more of a mess, and even more of a pain....
