so i checked PdX and it turns out, that:
- - on linux, tcl/tk will output RTL-scripts as LTR; so the bidi-plugin
is needed here, if you want arabic/hebrew texts to be displayed correctly.
- - on OSX, tcl/tk already has the bidirectional display built-in; so
the bidi-plugin is not needed here
- - on other OSs i don't know.

the cursor will stay on the left side both on OSX and linux+bidi,
which makes editing a little awkward, but that's how it currently is.

PS: and stupid me went through hoops and loops to create fat
(ppc/i386/x86_64) binaries of the auxiliary binaries for the
bidi-plugin before checking! darn...
