Prior to this patch, the ChangeLog generation was hard coded to use
"awk", when it should have been using the AWK variable set by our
build system.
This breaks compilation on a newly installed OS X system, where the
default path has the Mac (non GNU) awk in the default search PATH
before any installed GNU awk (gawk).

In general: autoconf's AC_PROG_AWK only guarantees that $(AWK) is nawk
or better (but of course, gawk is better than nawk) - so maybe there is
a bug in ChangeLog.awk for using non-portable awk constructs. That
said, on several platforms, plain 'awk' lacks essential features of
nawk, so whether or not we also need to patch ChangeLog.awk, this patch
is good.
ACK.
