itk4.0b4 doesn't built against an installed build of itcl4.0b4, 
because some header files that are referenced by itclInt.h don't get 
installed along with it. Fixed by the first attached patch.

Then, I was getting segfaults from CallItclObjectCmd() when using 
4.0b4 with Tcl HEAD as of yesterday. Fixed by the second attached 
patch.

Then, I found that 4.0b4 breaks [info complete] when used inside a 
method, because the arguments get expanded somewhere along the way:

--- snip ---
package require Itcl
::itcl::class foo {
     public method bar {a} {
 	info complete $a
     }
}
foo myfoo
myfoo bar {bla blubb}
--- snap ---
$ tclsh ./check.tcl
wrong # args: should be "::info complete command"
     while executing
"::info complete bla blubb"
     ("uplevel" body line 1)
     invoked from within
"::itcl::builtin::Info {*}$args"
     (object "::myfoo" procedure "::foo::info" body line 1)
     invoked from within
"info complete $a"
     (object "::myfoo" method "::foo::bar" body line 2)
     invoked from within
"myfoo bar {bla blubb}"
     (file "./check.tcl" line 8)
