That sounds kind-of hacky, but it gave me a nice idea. What about
something like this, in the actual script:

    if awk -Wv 2>/dev/null | head -1 | grep -q '^mawk'; then
        awk_args=('-W' 'interactive')
    else
        awk_args=()
    fi
    # ...
    awk "${awk_args[@]}" ...

Though I should probably test how fflush() actually behaves for all
these versions of awk.
