Well, it may make sense, but really there will be not many people running foreign interpreters at all, in my opinion. Is there a wiki page on Tcl/Tk multiarchification? To Sergei (added to Cc): I'd like to join the effort in packaging Tcl/Tk and stuff, as I said before; but as you've been the most active person on the team for quite some time I'm a bit hesitant about interrupting the process by committing things :) I guess, we need some co-ordination; also, in my opinion, the mailing list needs revival. -- WBR, Andrew
