Thanks Mo.  We're actually using sources imported from CVS a year or so

[*] We initially tried to use Jacl as-is.  It became difficult to extend
the package because most of the classes are package-private and some are
not well abstracted.  For example, we needed to create a StreamChannel to
wrap an arbitrary Java io stream as a Tcl channel.
