OK. I nuked the GUI, as it wasn't critical. I didn't feel like YELLING
at the author as he nicely gave his concent to mirror the software, but
I did a comment on this previously.
I haven't had time lately for FreeBSD or the Internet in general, but I
remember Chuck Robey once commented that iTcl had compatible
replacements for Tcl7.6/Tk4.2 (this was long ago...). Could we also nuke
Tcl7.6 and Tk4.2 and leave everything depending only on iTcl or
Sunscript?

cheers,
