not sure I understand that right. I can post a patch for -nowish, all 
the rest of the code is inside the package.

it shouldn't be too difficult, you just need to choose a reference Tcl 
/ Tk installation that includes a package with the embedded frameworks.

actually those ones are in part automated with a shell script. but I 
admit it's more of a workaround for now. I think I've seen something 
similar in jMax

well currently it quits the (sub)process,  the problem is when it 
crashes.

is it included as standard? that'd be great
