Details:

Well, it is probably as much a bug of MSYS gawk as of texindex.awk, but what
happens is the following: in the usage function there is this line of code:


  print _"Email bug reports to address@hidden,\n\
general questions and discussion to address@hidden
Texinfo home page: http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/";;


If I run texindex as it is, then I get the following error:

$ texindex --help
gawk:
/c/Programmes/installation/texinfo-install/trunk/texindex/texindex.awk:139:  
print _"Email bug reports to address@hidden,\n\
gawk:
/c/Programmes/installation/texinfo-install/trunk/texindex/texindex.awk:139:   
     ^ unterminated string


Well, if now I just do this:

$ dos2unix texindex.awk


Then, it works fine.

My conclusion is that you should do somewhere :

svn propset svn:eol-style LF ...


Another option is to avoid in-string line folding.
