good-bye thin glue module, hello huge distribution, build FAILs, and so
on...

I think in case there will be huge distro with Tcl/Tk included (what about
Tix?), then really must be also thin distribution as alternate approach.
So people will choose between two ways.

May be already the time is come to agree on distribution names?

"Tcl"
"Tcl-all-included"

To add few words about competing with perlTk, I think first of all we need
to create standalone independent demo executables, like TkZinc has.
Another kind of demos and screenshots also necessary to do.

Additionally, I have an experience when widgets with Tcl::Tk are
considerably faster loaded and redrawn.
