Hello all

Some time ago I noticed that on some Tcl installations it could take a
noticeable time to respond to 'package require' calls. SInce I write a
lot of Tcl in CGI scripts (yes, very retro), that sort of delay was
becoming irksome.

To that end I wrote an extension for 'package' which lets you build a
lookup table of packages and speeds up loading them very effectively.

It's built into a system I wrote called web-template and can be found
on freshmeat.

Happy new year!

Such a speedup would be handy even for interactive use such as starting
new tkcon sessions. I wasn't able to find the package in the
freshmeat-listed
project called "web-templating" circa 2001. Is there a correction needed to
the reference?
