Sorry -- not enough time for that. It would mean changing several
files (after finding out which files to change) in ways that I can't
test sufficiently well within the time frame. I'll have to do it
eventually, of course, in order to get PostgreSQL 6.3.1 to work with
TCL/TK here, and I'll send you the changes it takes. An alternative,
of course, is to get Bruce to identify and back out the changes that
he made in order to remove all version-specific TCL/TK stuff from
configure*, various makefiles and whatever. Then, you could just slip
my patch right into configure.in, add support for tcl/tk 8.1 to match
the version 8.0 stuff, and generate a new configure...
I don't even like TCL! It's just that pgaccess is _so_ _cute_! :-)
[Meanwhile, I'm hacking on PL/Scheme -- I can already create and use
functions with "language 'scheme'", and I'm working on integrating
calls back into the backend into Scheme the way I want them. Having a
great time with this stuff. Don't hold your breath waiting for this,
though; it's strictly a spare time project, and will take a while.]
