Thank you for great release candidates, I appreciate.

I hope, this will be the last run I am testing MS-VC6 with TCL.

SQLite does not compile due to the same issues as with tcl8.6.12.
Perhaps, Jan may fix it or not. Here are the errors:

Further tests ongoing. Just hammering this out to continue testing.
