Oh please, do you have any idea how MANY copies of Tcl and Tk I have in my
/var/db/pkg ??????? 7 at last count. So in my opinion Tcl/Tk is more of a
WIP than java. 7 freaking copies of Tcl/Tk to get different ports to run.
Tcl/Tk should NOT be used. They release a new version as much as linux
releases a new kernel. Ick. Ill pass thanks.
