Good point.  If I were to break it down as you describe,
I would make it something like:

Tcl:
    tcl (core)
    tcl (commands)
    itcl
    tcllib

Tk:             (because I want to have a pure non-gui tcl thing)
    tk (core)
    tk (widgets)
    ???

By John's numbering scheme, it doesn't break backwards
compatibility, so no need to bump the major number.  But
maybe we could skip version 9 and call it TclX.
(that's a joke, btw)
