You should have the awk command when you installed the base msys
system assuming you installed it with ``mingw-get install msys'' or
``mingw-get install msys-base'' or used the mingw-get-inst installer.

To install
mingw-get install msys-gawk

If it says it is already installed then you need to

mingw-get install --reinstall msys-gawk
