At this point I'm happy with the state of this repo.  It seems to be  
in shape suitable for continued development.

The main branch contains captures the work that was done in the  
tcltkce repo at sourceforge and there is a 'cpan' branch captures the  
earlier history.  It would be preferable to join these histories and I  
might look into that at some point (nice to have 'git blame' to be  
able to pinpoint where all code comes from), but since I don't  
actually know how to get to there right now that needs more research.

You have now been given access to push to "my" github repo; but since  
this is really your project feel free to 'fork' the project to your  
github namespace and we'll make that the "official" version.

I will go offline for the weekend tomorrow so I don't expect to get to  
the patching I really wanted to do until next week.  Since this is Git  
it might actually be that I'll get this done while offline, but for  
all I know there might be better things to do up in the mountains of  
Norway :-)
