Re: [Tcllib-devel] Status of release work (RE: (proposed) Schedule

[Andreas K. <and...@ac...>]

I have now committed a change to the run code which uses a different method of
execution on windows which doesn't use 'echo', nor 'cat'. I also disabled use of
valgrind for that platform. There is no valgrind port for Windows, so the
feature is not needed there.

With the rewrite I have no ERR for multiplexer.

I tried my rewrite and it is good for me, i.e. not ignoring the modules and
running only the specified testsuites.
