That is wrong, and we should find a way to fix that. Can you please file
a PR? Which version of awk is used there? The following test outputs the
expected result both with gawk and the NetBSD in-tree awk:

 echo | awk '{ print "\$NetBSD\$\n" }'

though gawk warns: awk: warning: escape sequence `\$' treated as plain `$'

Maybe there is a better way to fix it, like:

  print "$" "NetBSD" "$\n"

It isn't, but since this script is stored in the NetBSD cvs repository, there
needs to be a way to get it out of that w/o corruption. We could disable
keyword expansion for that file, but that is fragile.
