I got tcl-6.7 and tk-3.2 running without too much problems.
I haven't tested them that much, but I can run XF2.1 on top of
them so I guess there aren't too many bugs.  When running the tests
on tcl I did get some errors (all of them problem with the number
of digits printf should produce on different formats).

I tried to install tclX, but ran into serious problems and the resulting
executable did not pass the testing (it core dumped on some operation)
and I haven't had time to look into it (I was hoping someone else would
have done the dirty work by the time I got around to it again 8-) ).

I used gcc-2.2.2 to compile on a PK 0.1 system with some additional
hacks in /usr/include (Yes! I know 0.1 is ancient stuff, but I never
seem to be able to get the courage needed to try to deinstall all
the patches done to the system -- and it DOES work).
