What's inside the starkit?

If it is pure script, and the code was written to work cross-platform,
then yes, it is likely to work.

If it is pure script, and the code has hard coded path dependencies
(either for data or where commands are located) then there may be a
bit of problem.

If it is pure script, and uses features that are only available in
certain versions of the tclkit module (say, tcl 8.5 features like
dict, etc.), then it would work only if the other system had a
compatible tclkit.

If the starkit contains a binary extension which has dependencies on
shared system libraries, then it will work if both systems are using
compatible versions of the system shared libraries.
