Well, to be more technically correct, dqkit is really a "tclkit on
steroids" .

Note that parenthetical comment is the crux of the matter. A starkit
is only portable if the starkit contains all the non-tclkit pieces
needed to run on each platform. So for instance, in this case, if
dqkit runs on windows, linux, etc. with the same versions of the same
extensions, and the starkit created against dqkit uses no additional
binary code (or includes binary for each platform supported), then the
starkit will be cross-platform.

Good question - is dqkit still being updated ? I wasn't able to
quickly determine that question. I went to the sourceforge page, but
had a tough time finding references to dqkit
