    Can you take a quick look at the way things are right now and
submit a new patch against the current version for the tcl stuff?  I think
this "multiple version" thing with tcl/tk is an inconvience, but a
necessary one based on the way they do do development :(

    Other then this, I don't think we have any outstanding issues we
wanted covered...is there?  If not, if this can be submitted before 4pm
today, I'll include it...if not, the patch/tar file is created and
*finally* released at that point :)
