What Ludo wrote about not making the module graph more cyclic than it 
already is with all that entails, and ...

... these two can be combined, substitute* accepts a list of files, it's 
not restricted to a single file.

Also, this which seems incorrect when cross-compiling, do 
(search-input-file inputs "bin/sh") instead and add 'bash-minimal' (or 
'bash'?) to inputs, so you get the cross-compiled bash instead of the 
native bash (for the goawk_test.go, it probably doesn't matter, but it's 
important for interp.go).
