[PD] including tkdnd WAS: Google SoC: call for mentors and project ideas

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

I think the think to do would be to create a folder in SVN and import  
this code, something like 'extensions/tk/tkdnd'.  Then there could be  
a Makefile which handles building it for each platform in 'extensions/ 
tk/Makefile' or wherever makes sense.

Then any other of the very handy tcl and tk extensions could also be  
included there.  There is a lot of useful Tcl and Tk extensions that  
would be very nice to have included.
