Did that also, as I wrote ...

Or you separate true local stuff to /local/....

The ports collection fits my needs concerning local programs...

It's difficult to find a satisfactory solution...

Yes, better keep it. as it is ... I hope, people will migrate to
new tcl/tk stuff, so that old versions can be removed and I hope
the 'father of tcl/tk' has already all new features incorporated in
his current libs, so that one could hope, that every new tcl/tk
stuff is backward compatible ...

No, I wouldn't argue that way...

Yeah, but have none ..
