[MACTCL] Updated critcl for universal binaries?

Last fall I was trying to compile a Tcl library as a universal binary
via critcl using this command:

critcl -target universal-macosx -pkg myscript.tcl

It worked, in that the resulting .dylib had both the pcc and i386
architectures. However, the dylib was stored in
lib/myscript/powerpc-macosx/myscript.dylib.

To have the dylib successfully load on Intel as well as PPC, I had to
hack lib/myscript/critcl as follows:

set plat macosx
set cpu universal

and then I had to change the directory the dylib was stored in to
"universal-macosx."

At the time, when this was discussed on-list, Steve Landers said that
the new version of critcl was more or less still in beta mode, and still
had some bugs in handling unviersal binaries;  hence the hacks required
above. I am wondering if has been updated in the interim to automate
this process. Looking at the most recent build of ActiveTcl, I see that
ActiveState does something similar for its universal binaries based on
critcl (Daniel Steffen's carboncrit package, for instance), but I'm not
sure if criticl did this or someone at AS had to edit the files by hand,
as I did.

If critcl has been updated to handle universal binaries more gracefully,
can someone please let me know, and also provide a download link? Thanks.
