[PATCH 0/1] gawk: Append AGPL-3.0-or-later to LICENSE when pma is enabled

[liezhi.yang]

From: Robert Yang <liezhi.yang@windriver.com>

The support/pma.c and support/pma.h's license is AGPL-3.0-or-later, this patch
disables pma by default, and append AGPL-3.0-or-later to LICENSE when pma is
enabled, and print a warning for that.

The other option is removing support/pma.c and support/pma.h directly, I'm not sure
which is better, please feel free to give your comments.

The scarthgap and walnascar branch also has this problem, we need backport it
after master branch is fixed.

This needs --enable-pma too, to avoid a floating feature enablement/disablement.

This should be set unconditionally, as it is specifying source code
licenses that apply regardless of build time choices. Then you can set
licenses for a particular package(s) to include AGPL or not depending
on packageconfig, but I believe that too can be done without resorting
to anonymous python.

You can find an example of this being done in the cairo recipe.

Thanks Alex and Peter, I will send a V2 for it.
