Awka
Awka is both a translator of AWK programs to ANSI C, and a separate library against which the C code is linked. The aims of Awka are to allow creation an executable that provides generally better performance than AWK interpretors, to allow easy inclusion of AWK logic in larger C applications, and use of external C functions within AWK scripts.

Changes: Networking features introduced in Gawk 3.1.0 are now supported by Awka (causing change of license to GPL), and several other new Gawk functions have been added. A new and much improved hashing method has been adopted for arrays, Regular Expressions will execute a little quicker, and where possible Awka will track the datatype of variables to optimise performance.

Changes: Some problems with compiling on some platforms have been fixed, as have difficulties running the test suite. FIELDWIDTHS will no longer affect the split() function, and there's a speed boost for execution of simple regular expressions.

Changes: Cleanups for a six-month backlog of bug reports, and addition of several missing features required by the Posix standard such as 'next' within functions and 'var=value' from the commandline.

Changes: Awka supports calls to external C functions as if they were built-in to the language, so you are no longer restricted to the functions that AWK provides. The libawka API has been documented, and a walk-through guide prepared to help developers get started.

Changes: This is a beta release. It's not yet stable enough for general use, but its on the way.

I've tried updating the above links, but no luck.
If the freshmeat.net admin guys could correct them I'd be very grateful :)
