As I said in one of my other emails, this is intended to be a mod_dtcl
for apache.  It would need to be compiled statically, or else compile
apache against libtcl8.0.  This wouldnt really work for debian, as we
really should use modules, instead of different versions of apache.

So, what do I do about a symbol table?  I'm afraid I haven't much
experience with these issues, but I have been reading what I can get
ahold of in the past week or so.  References would be appreciated:->

Thanks,
