-F"*" is perfectly valid. It's short-form for -v OFS="*", not to mention probably older.
Not that I mind you catching my other typos.
Another funny awk thing you might see sometimes is
awk '{print $1}' VARNAME="asdf" filename which looks weird but is also a perfectly good way of setting a variable inside awk, and probably older than -v. Just remember that they're parsed the same time as filenames -- i.e. they won't be parsed before a BEGIN {} block. -v VAR=whatever, on the other hand, gets parsed before BEGIN {}.

@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
