I just added few lines to implement perlTk's BrowseEntry
Browseentry.pm in perlTk lives in "Tixish" directory, but I did not found it
in Tix.

Nevertheless, it appears BrowseEntry could be implemented with ComboBox.

So I add
     ComboBox   => {-choices=>'-values'},
to %replace_options

This is slightly odd, because someone who previously inserted that line to
hash did not intended to have "-choices".

Another way will be better: I'll add key pair
     BrowseEntry   => {-choices=>'-values'},
and nothing outside said widget will be touched.

Interesting to say, implementing perlTk's TList in a level needed by my
application, ended with adding just one line to %ptk2tcltk and fwe lines to
need_tk!
