well. this is a huge problem you are traing to tacle here ....
the best aprouch is the one that the people of bigbrother did (the system monitor)
they use a config script that source alot of things.
their main scripts source that oconfiguration and work on.
so you ony have to make sure the config script is kinda good.
for example, in during the isntalationm, if you tell the script you are on linux, it creates a var in the config called AWK that points to gawk
in their scripts, for all platforms, you use $AWK regardless

IGAWK(1) Utility Commands IGAWK(1)
NAME
igawk - gawk with include files
SYNOPSIS
igawk [ all gawk options ] -f program-file [ -- ] file ...
igawk [ all gawk options ] [ -- ] program-text file ...
DESCRIPTION
Igawk is a simple shell script that adds the ability to have ``include files'' to gawk(1).
AWK programs for igawk are the same as for gawk, except that, in addition, you may have lines like
@include getopt.awk
in your program to include the file getopt.awk from either the current directory or one of the other directories in the search path.
OPTIONS
See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports.
EXAMPLES
cat << EOF > test.awk
@include getopt.awk
BEGIN {
while (getopt(ARGC, ARGV, "am:q") != -1)
...
}
EOF
igawk -f test.awk
