Well, actually I don't know what the status of the tcl/tk stuff is. So
far it's just a mailing list posting:

Best send patches (or just the plain files for new packages) to the OE
list (oe at handhelds.org). Usually someone (in this particular case
probably me) will have a look at them, provide feedback as to what needs
to be done before they can go in, and finally check them in.
After several sane patches/package submissions contributors are usually
offered bk write access.

As PDa depends on tcl/tk, probably yes.

I'm afraid I don't know.

Sure. Whatever that other person comes up with can be merged later.

Excellent! Usually people don't like the "there are about 2000 examples
in the tree" argument ;)
