OK, so the current gawk is not able to process 2^16 _input_ files on such
systems (see static int files in nextfile() in io.c), yet we think of a
possibility that it may be fed by 2^16 _source_ files.
The above rule would mean that we have to use "long" for most of int
variables.
OK, I'll try to adapt to this kind of thinking...
