    Sure. Let me do some final tests (checking that PL/Tcl in the
    current version works with Tcl7.5 and Tcl8.0  with  the  same
    sources).  Then  I'll  upload  a  tar  for  putting  it  into
    src/pl/pltcl  or  contrib/pl/pltcl  (expecting   the   source
    directory in ../../src).

    There is a little test suite included into the directory.  It
    checks triggers, functions, operators and  aggregates.  Since
    building  is  optional,  I don't think that a real regression
    test is a good idea.

    Time is limited. So the USE_PLTCL part is up to you -  sorry.


Until later, Jan
