Ok.

The current support for ttk in BWidget is only useable the way "use what
is senseful" but for example specifying a -bg somewhere leads mostly to
error messages and undefined state.

So the plan is:
- do not use BWidget with ttk - no support here - plan to remove what is
there (time frame: 1 year)
- use TWidget with ttk (when it is there)

About version numbers:
1.9 or 2.0 - I want to stay open here.
No need to do things without reason but there should be a scope.

If there is for example a new widget which has an implementation for
BWidget and TWidget, I would not mind to develop BWidget and release a
new version. Maybe, it might be senseful, to for example have the same
widgets in a BWidget 2.2 and TWidget 2.2 release (same release number,
same widget set).
I don't know, we will see.
