The TCL demo works OK on my system.

I propose to move it to cvs, without the EXPERIMENTAL message.

Well, I see there are many other EXPERIMENTAL's in ./configure:

   Enable placement of rectangles and other objects (EXPERIMENTAL)
   Enable plot style image (EXPERIMENTAL)
   Enable verify every pixel coordinate in image (EXPERIMENTAL)
   Enable general binary data file reading (EXPERIMENTAL)
   Enable X11 polygon info in binary, not ascii (EXPERIMENTAL)
   Enable string variables (EXPERIMENTAL)
   Enable command line macros (EXPERIMENTAL)

I propose to remove these flags -- these features work for some time 
already.
