I think I side with Chuck on this.  If I remember right, the reasoning was
supposed to be all these great sysadmin tools that were going to be
forthcoming?  Hrmmph.  I think that's great, but having Tcl wedged into
the source tree does take away a piece of the flexibility folks have with
regard to which version they choose to follow.
