FYI, we have just written a Sdbm wrapper with complete src code in the XOTcl
distribution, which will be included in the next XOTcl version ...
this should solve the problem with the Gdbm version in Debian (and on 
Windows).

Moreover, we'll probably create a minimal man-page for xotclsh & xowish ...

Regarding tclexpat: which version is used in debian? I don't think that its a 
big issue (at the moment XOTcl uses tclxml per default), but for 
compatibility with the rest of XOTcl I've renamed the produced lib to
libtclexpat.so ... that should at least prevent that an existing tclexpat.so
is overwritten (not in 0.83!). At the moment we have performed some 
modification in configure+make of tclexpat, but the lib should be identical 
to 1.1. Probably we'll add someday an xotcl-wrapper, which directly produces
the object-interface with the XOTcl C API.
