Thanks very much for triaging the bwidgets bug area.  I am cc'ing Damon, 
who had assisted in maintenance before, and tcllib-devel in general to 
let them know you have been added in and will be poking around that 
area.  If anybody else has the time and will to assist Harald, that 
would be appreciated.

When you feel BWidgets needs a "release", ping back and we'll work on 
cementing one.

Thanks again,

Jeff
