Well, as long as it is reasonable to make a release, then plan it to 21th
august (after some more my changes at weekend), and if weather conditions
will be not perfect then release somewhere in the next week.

On the other notes, currently I am looking into integrating Tcl/Tk into
Perl6, which is currently developed in Haskell, and here are some notes on
the fact:

  - I realized that TclHaskell is currently out-of-date, (does not compile)
and I have some inprovement patches and tried to contact author (with no
avail)
  - it is probably better to not use TclHaskell and write direct calls to
tcl/tk library; frantk is based on top of TclHaskell and I have no idea
about it's shape.
  - while I received commit bit and am planning to add Tcl/Tk into PUGS
(current codename of haskell implementation of perl6), I did not negotiated
inclusion of such support into distribution yet.
  - Haskell and Pugs sourcetree are amazingly hard to start with :):), and
PUGS has amazingly quick growth

All in all, I am trying Tcl::Tk in perl6, and there are interesting things
here.

Thank you!
