Aha!  I didn't catch on to what you were doing.

[load]able Tcltest?  Very nice....

Message:

With the ability to build restored, we can
find the failing tests created by this change:

==== safe-10.1 testing statics loading FAILED
==== Contents of test case:

    set i [safe::interpCreate]
    list  [catch {interp eval $i {load {} Tcltest}} msg]  $msg 
[safe::interpDelete $i];

---- Result was:
1 {can't read "msg": no such variable} {}
---- Result should have been (exact matching):
1 {can't use package in a safe interpreter: no Tcltest_SafeInit procedure}
{}
==== safe-10.1 FAILED



==== safe-10.4 testing nested statics loading / -nestedloadok FAILED
==== Contents of test case:

    set i [safe::interpCreate -nestedloadok]
    list  [catch {interp eval $i {interp create x; load {} Tcltest x}}
msg]  $msg  [safe::interpDelete $i];

---- Result was:
1 {can't read "msg": no such variable} {}
---- Result should have been (exact matching):
1 {can't use package in a safe interpreter: no Tcltest_SafeInit procedure}
{}
==== safe-10.4 FAILED

Message:
Remark: The advantage of this change is that the Tcltest package now
contains all (binary) code needed to run the test suite. There is no need
to split it up in "procbodytest"/"objtest"/"threadtest" or whatever.

Message:
Yes, I forgot to update my files before synchronising, as a result
unix/tclAppInit.c and win/tclAppInit.c are screwed up now.

Unfortunately, I'm behind a firewall now, which doesn't let me
check in the fix, but I attached the fix to this Issue. Please, someone
who can do it, fix it (trivially), otherwise I will do it tohight.

See attached patch.

The same problem happens with dde.

Since I don't use the extension myself, I only noticed it when trying to
compile an 8.6 TclKitLite

Confirmed. Probably a problem in Tcl 8.5 as well.
