[Tcllib-devel] Opinion on having 'critcl' the package/application in Tcllib ?

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

Saw this on the chat ... What are others thinking ?

[11:13]	stevel	I've put preload support into Critcl - you can probably "steal"
that pending #239

[11:13]	tclguy	stevel - can you drop it in my inbox to "encourage" me?
[11:14]	stevel	sure .. I'll just update the copy I have on my website first

[11:16]	stevel	I'm thinking critcl should be part of tcllib, not just used by it
[11:19]	<Cameron>	!?
[11:19]	<Cameron>	I'm reacting because, to me, that would be
[11:19]	<Cameron>	a change in tcllib's pure-Tcl nature.
[11:20]	stevel	no - critcl is pure tcl
[11:20]	<Cameron>	Maybe that's an unreasonable prejudice on my part.  I'm
thinking ...
[11:20]	stevel	and tcllib already contains code that uses critcl if available
[11:21]	<Cameron>	Right, it's pure-Tcl--but useless without appropriate binary
installation.
[11:21]	stevel	I still need to merge Pat's MSVC patches he sent me yesterday
[11:21]	<Cameron>	OK, I'm convinced--it qualifies as pure-Tcl for me.

[11:23]	stevel	Updated critcl at
http://www.digitalsmarties.com/pub/critcl-new.kit - unwrap and
		look for critcl.vfs/lib/critcl/critcl_c/preload.c for example of pre-loading


Here 'critcl' means the 'critcl' application with attendant packages.
Put in not as a kit, but expanded ...
