strftime() in awk is a GNU-ism. It doesn't exist in awk on Mac OS X or
FreeBSD, or even the default awk on Linux (which is mawk on Linux
installations I've checked).

Most portable likely would be Perl, however, that's probably too
heavyweight inside a loop like this, even if called only once each N
iterations.
