Re: New sourceware TCL is okay in my testbed

Feel free.  Download TCL 8.4.1, check out the sourceware "TCL" module, go
through the diffs, and send upstream patches to the TCL maintainers.
Anyone can do this.  But I suspect that no one has time to do this.

More helpfully -- some of the diffs are changes to make TCL fit into our
"build in unified tree and test without installing" vision.  Some of them
are noise from RCS key strings in files.  And some of them are
Cygwin-specific changes that probably would be useful to push upstream.

As a tester, I report on what I see.  I can't make the world perfect,
and I won't gloss over what I actually see even when it is flawed.
