...well, always lurking if not responsive, but I'm back in the  
hospital for 2nd chemo round, but I've been feeling a bit better  
overall, so I'm computing more...

...daniel steffan has stopped updating the tcltkaqua distro, which is  
a big pain:  however, he seems to spend more time on fixing tkaqua,  
which is probably better ;-)  That leaves only the ActiveTcl distro  
as being actively updated, but they've included their own selection  
of extensions...nice guys, but I hate the web/form interface:  they  
really push their dev environment...another unfortunate-ness is that  
they don't distribute embeddable framework versions, but that could  
be fixed with a script around install_name_tool...

...all in all, we'll probably want to grab a cvs tag and just make  
'em ourselves on the compile farm...yeehaw!
