See attached jdk.tcl.diff and jdk.tcl  (to patch/replace
./src/tjc/tjc/library/jdk.tcl)

The fix glob's files to expand wildcard patterns,
writes the resulting list of files to another file,
and uses javac's '@filename' to specify the file
containing the list of files.  

Also, I had to increase the memory for javac to
prevent out of memory errors during 'make tjc2'.

A shortcut would still be nice to have,  perhaps:

proc TJC::proc {name arglist body} {
    uplevel #0 [list ::proc $name $arglist $body]
    set ::TJC::__DONE__ ""
    TJC::compile $name -readyvar ::TJC::__DONE__
    vwait ::TJC::__DONE__
}
