So how about this:

- keep verbose() as it is
- add logpost(level, message) to both Tcl and C
- change ::pdwindow::post to mirror the C post() i.e. remove level
- remove ::pdwindow::fatal, ::pdwindow::warn, ::pdwindow::info since  
they are not used anywhere
- keep ::pdwindow::post ::pdwindow::error ::pdwindow::bug
