Tcl Blend does not use stubs because there is no way to bootstrap when 
loading Tcl into
a Java process. The stubs feature works well when Tcl loads a C 
extension, but Tcl Blend also
supports loading both Tcl and Tcl Blend dlls into an existing JVM 
process (started via java.exe).
A specific tclblend.dll is tied to a specific Tcl release and a specific 
JVM release.
