Heh.  Ok, I'll give it a try and see if scotty and friends will work with
them.  I don't have a feel for how well applications developed under 75/41
will run under 8.0/8.0.  If there are compatibility glitches, the
trade-off would be spending time debugging versus getting as many
ports/packages as possible to at least build with some version of tcl/tk
for the upcoming 2.2.5 release.
