This is just plain wrong.  Drop the mega-binary idea.  It is
dead, dead, dead, dead.  Tcl has had a very good dll mechanism
for 7 years - all extensions should use it.  So IMO Jim is
fixing a configure system that *is* broken, at its very core
design.  You can do so much more with a pure extension, that
should always be the default.
