Re: [Tcllib-devel] pure tcl bmp reader/writer

[Virden, L. W. <lv...@ca...>]

If the ico package has all the same functionality of the bmp package,
then I don't see a need to add bmp. On the other hand, ico is in the
tklib set, which, I presume, means it requires Tk.  The bmp package
doesn't _seem_ to require Tk, from what I can tell.

A second thing, sort of unrelated, that the TCT as well as every other
Tcl developer needs to keep in mind is the Microsoft lawsuit, filed in
the past week, against open source developers who make use of technology
for which Microsoft has patents. If bmp is one of those technologies,
then we might not want to have it in any of our distributed
libraries....

just fyi the ico package includes this capability. however im not sure
that is an argument against inclusion of a bmp specific package.
