now the package build test,

At first two changes in "kbs.tcl":

old:
  cd [file dirname [info nameofexe]]
new (may be this get better):
  cd [file dirname [info nameofexe]]/../..

old:
  proc kbs::make {} {
    foreach f [lsort -dict [glob -directory ../../extdefs -tails
*.kbs]] {
new (no extra build target necessary):
  proc kbs::make {{pattern *}} {
    foreach f [lsort -dict [glob -directory ../../extdefs -tails
$pattern.kbs]] {

Now the build. No need to build tclkits before.
  make base
  8.5/base-std/build/bin/tclsh8.5 make ?extension-pattern?
To collect sources for offline work I use the following proc:

proc kbs::sources {{pattern *}} {
  proc ::config::Build {path} {puts $path}
  proc ::config::Result {path} {puts $path}
  proc ::config::Unglob {match} {}
  make $pattern
}

I will try all the stuff next week under SunOS and can make more tests
under IRIX in week 22.
