[gentoo-dev] [PATCH] eutils.eclass: Add awk wrapper - eawk - edit file in place

From: Amadeusz Żołnowski <aidecoe@g.o>

awk doesn't have the -i option like sed and if editing file in place is
desired, additional steps are required. eawk uses tmp file to make it
look to the caller editing happens in place.
