[Quilt-dev] [patch 1/3] Make quilt mawk and original-awk compatible

[Wolfram Sang]

The quilt test-suite fails when using mawk or original-awk instead of gawk.
After applying this patch to mail.in, all tests run fine. It just drops a check
for a word boundary which is a gawk-extension. I think it is safe to apply it
as there is very similar code a few lines later which does neither use
word-boundary checks. It has been applied in Debian for a year now and no
side-effects have been reported.
