Subject: Re: Tcl 7.4 / Tk 4.0 Ports

 * First, I've never done an official port.  Second, has anyone already done 
 * these ports?

First, you have to start somewhere.  Second, not that I know of.

 * 1. Should they be done? (I mean the only work needed is the ports wrapper)

By all means, yes.  However, tk4.x is not compatible with tk3.x, so I
recommend you call it "tk4" or something.  That way we can have both
versions.

>From what I've heard, tcl7.4 is just an upgrade of tcl7.3.  If that is 
true, we can replace the current tcl port.

 * 2. Any hitches I might run into?

No idea. :)

 * 3. Is this a common type of port

Unless the structures have significantly changed from tcl7.3/tk3.6, yes.
