IMO BWidgets won't "survive" the OO transition without a
major rewrite.  I for one am duplicating BWidgets into my
own tklib widget package, which is snidget based (and thus
closer to what the OO would be).  These have different
options, and perhaps different behaviors, and more
importantly assume you already are using all that Tk 8.4
and Ttk has to offer.
