% package require zipfile::encode
can't find package zlibtcl

http://wiki.tcl.tk/18435 ("zlibtcl")

#v+
This package is part of Img, and refers to the libz support library needed
by some of the image formats (like png). For easier handling by the package
system, for wrapping, etc. the sources of libz were stub-sified and wrapped
into a Tcl package, which was given the name zlibtcl to distinguish it from
the unmodified libz.
#v-

Wouldn't it be reasonable to move zlibtcl from Img to tcllib then?

It's us, the scobs.

[Andreas Kupries]

zlibtcl wraps the zlib library. It is very much C, not Tcl.
Tcllib is not really the place for it.

Note: In Tcl 8.6 we have a "zlib" command also. Will gladly accept a
patch which changes zipfile::* to conditionally use that in favor
of zlibtcl when available.
