[MACTCL] ActiveTcl 8.6.0.0 Beta 3 released

[Jeff H. <je...@ac...>]

A few notes about the new AT 8.6 on OS X (new 8.4 and 8.5 releases in 
case you missed those announcements too).

First off, 8.6 is not universal - it is x86 32- and 64-bit.

It is also Cocoa (no more Carbon-based lifeforms!).  This means that 
some libraries (such as tclAE, tclCarbon*, tktable and treectrl) will 
not work.  We will be populating an updated OS X teapot repo with this 
arch in mind.
