<tt>Perhaps it would make sense to break the download into two parts, a runtime environment and an SDK. I'm unsure what other extensions have a binary interface, but for XOTcl (at least) all that needs to be shipped is a couple of headers and the stubs lib. It seems equivalent to Tcl proper. In fact, perhaps even the base Tcl libs/headers ought to be in an SDK package. I'd think than many, perhaps even a majority of, users don't need the Tcl headers & libs. </tt><br>

<tt>But if it's not there, it's not there. Oh well, back to building my own version. </tt><br>
