 [ tcllib extension support files ]

Tcllib includes many utilities. But currently, supports TKLib part
only (see the following 'tcllib contents').

If you request to support others, please send your message to one of 
ruby-talk/ruby-list/ruby-dev/ruby-ext mailing lists. 

-----<from "What is tcllib?">----------------------------
Tcllib is a collection of utility modules for Tcl. These modules provide 
a wide variety of functionality, from implementations of standard data 
structures to implementations of common networking protocols. The intent 
is to collect commonly used function into a single library, which users 
can rely on to be available and stable.
