    That's actually not a bad idea. 0-]  I'll add it to the TODO list.
I think there are actually some really good Tcl Tutorials out there, I
just need to find a couple and put some links in there.

    I'm glad you were able to make it do what you wanted.  I recently gave
a little Tcl tutorial to someone trying to do optional builds from the
command-line.  It's not documented yet, but I added a -D and a -d option
to command-line builds.  -D specifies a single variable, and -d specifies
a .tcl file to be sourced after the project is loaded but before builds.  IE:

./installbase -b -DVersion 1.0a6 -d /my/tcl/file.tcl project.mpi

    And so on...

    Thanks for the help in figuring out the bugs too. 0-]
