For those who are interested - I've been working on a new way to  
build Tclkit Lite.  The result is a tool called "kitgen".  There's  
even some documentation for it:
	http://www.equi4.com/kitgen.html

Key differences with the normal "genkit" approach:

  - support for both 8.4 and 8.5 builds, threaded and non-threaded
  - optionally include all encodings and/or msgs/tzdata (8.5)
  - can build 3 variants: cmd-line, tk in vfs, and tk linked-in  
statically
  - no Metakit included, hence no dependency on C++
  - no writable starkit support (but latest sdx can wrap starkits  
with this)
  - uses a new "vlerq" extensions (unreleased, version 4, from CVS)
  - incrtcl no longer included (could be added manually as dynamic lib)
  - only tested on Mac OS X and (a bit) on Linux so far

This relies on a newer version of vlerq than was demo'd at the  
conference.

It's all very lightweight (read: maintainable).  I don't have access  
to a mingw build setup right now, but I hope that kitgen can be  
tweaked to work there as well.

Enjoy,
