Ok all your ports-lunatics out there, here's a toy to play with : ftp://gsoft.com.au/pub/pib.tcl.gz (requires Tcl and Tk, but pretty version-immune AFAICT) At the moment the fonts aren't so great, and the root window resizing is ugly. I also plan to make it sort the contents of the listboxes. Please excuse the "oh yes very Tcl-looking"-ness; I've avoided using any of the extensions so that it's as generic as possible. Beyond that though, what would people like? Searching ability? Better xref checking? (Conceivably it could check all of the build/run dependancies in the INDEX all at once). Point-and-shoot port build/install? Stale-distfile extermination? Distfile verification? Recursive dependancy graphing? What would be an acceptable requirement for it? At the moment it needs Tcl and Tk; it would be nice to add TclX and Tix to that, but then I can see people perhaps not using it because it requires too much to be installed...
