It does not matter. What you need to do is load the Tcl Blend dll into 
the version of Tcl that it was compiled
agains. Otherwise, you may run into issues. The Tcl Blend configure 
script checks for these kinds of problems
to keep you from making mistakes. If the ActiveTcl binary is compiled 
without threads, then you
will run into crashes sooner or later. Mixing and matching binaries with 
Tcl Blend is not a good idea, you
should use Tcl Blend with the version of Tcl it was compiled for.
