So, we might just as well drop CE support from core-8-6-branch, since
it doesn't work anyway ....   I wouldn't even need a TIP for this ;-)

Well, I'll wait a while for other's comments. If a "core-8-for-xp" would
work for you, that would be fine with me. The advantage: All xp-specific
changes are clearly documented. Any company (like Evolane) which
want to support XP on Tcl 8.7 can do so, and has an easy way to
submit bug-fixes back to the core. Still, the TCT can concentrate
on future development, that would be a big win!

TIP text is adapted accordingly. Thanks!

Other comments?
