Tcl -> C++ -> Metakit - how to bind to library?

Hi there,

I have a question about binding to Metakit that may really be a Tcl
question but we'll see...

I have an application where I want to use Metakit as a persistent object
store for some C++ code that happens to be coded as a Tcl extension. The
Tcl code itself has no requirements to directly access the Metakit
database through mk::whatever calls.

Tcl interpreter <-> C++ extension <-> Metakit

1.) should I be binding to the C++ API (DLL or static LIB) or the Tcl
Mk4tcl.dll?

2.) If the former, is there anything specific I should worry about w.r.t
memory management or anything else of that ilk?

2.) if the latter, is the C++ API still available to my extension when the
Mk4tcl.dll extension is loaded? Or do I need to Tcl_Eval "mk::blah"
commands in my C++ code to access the database?

Cheers
Gareth
