Moving dfa.h back to where it was is likely to break OpenVMS. See
this in the gawk ChangeLog:

2013-01-31         Arnold D. Robbins     <arnold <at> skeeve.com>

	* dfa.c: Include "dfa.h" which includes regex.h after limits.h
	so that RE_DUP_MAX gets the correct value. Especially needed on
	OpenVMS. Thanks to Anders Wallin.

In general, I don't do stuff like that without a reason, and the reason
can usually be found in the ChangeLogs if you look (or check with me).

I would prefer to have dfa.h after the standard includes in dfa.c.
The current code works on Irix and other systems as is...

Thanks though.

Arnold
