Thanks Mo.  I have no 'nagging' issues, Jacl is 1.4.x stable and predictable.
My latest code uses the most recent Jacl from CVS.

There are two items that I would ask you to consider.  

1. IncrTcl 'cget' patch.  Eckhard Lemann submitted a patch to
  IncrTcl/C that provides an extra optional parameter when defining 
  variables, to allow code to be executed when a variable is
  fetched ($obj cget -var).  I'd like to have that in Jacl IncrTcl,
  and lobby Jeff Hobbs to put it in IncrTcl/C.  

  In Aejaks, I provide public variables that access getXxx/setXxx methods.
  'setXxx' is no problem of course, but I had to implement a series of
  traces on each object's variables to enable 'getXxx' behavior.  Pretty
  ugly, probably a lot slower, but it does work.

2. My 'open resource:/' patch for Jacl.  I would like to be able to
  have an entire application bundled into a .war file.  Tcl code is no
  problem thanks to 'source resource:/'.  I'd like to be able to read
  other non-Tcl files in the .war just by using 'open'.
