The README for 8.0beta3 is wrong on Tcl and I sent in a patch so it should
be fixed in a future release. Tcl is now unbundled, so if you want to write
client apps in Tcl that talk to PostgreSQL, visit gborg.postgresql.org and
take a look. There are currently at least 3 Tcl interfaces there.
I have tested my two, pgin.tcl-2.1.0 and pgintclng-1.5.1, talking to a
PostgreSQL-8.0beta3 server (on Linux only) and both passed my test suite.
