There is a Jacl binary now, but Tcl Blend can only
be provided as a source download. There is no way
to make a binary release of Tcl Blend because Tcl Blend
needs to link to both the Tcl dlls and the Java dlls and
the specific dll names and where they live is different for
each Tcl/JVM combo. It is just too error prone. Folks have
enough trouble just downloading Tcl Blend and building it.
If you also throw all kinds of binary incompatibilities into
the mix, most people would never be able to get it working.

I have updated the Wiki notes on building Tcl Blend, there
really should be no reason you can't download Tcl Blend
and build it. There is also a new jtclsh.bat file that will
launch Tcl Blend from a cmd.exe shell or the Windows
explorer with the env vars setup correctly.
