At FlightAware, we are extensive users of both Tcl and FreeBSD. However, we=
 are currently applying a local patch to the lang/tcl85 port to increase FD=
_SETSIZE from the default 1024 to 4096 so that select() can handle larger s=
ocket collections.

Would it be possible to get this patch added to the port? Alternatively, ca=
n we add a configure option to the port that enables this? I=92d be happy t=
o provide a patch or send-pr, I just want to see if there is interest/objec=
tions to this.

Thanks!
