Sorry if this is obvious, but is there anything special that needs to be
done for itcl to work with threads enabled tcl? Is it "thread safe"?
Thanks in advance.

[Incr Tcl] gets my stamp of approval. It only has one global hash table and
that's wrapped in a mutex starting in 3.2.1. There's a beta of it for windows
on the SF site. Aside from that one global, everything else is used in a safe
manner and should be fine in a threaded core.

Is the same global hash table also locked in a mutex in any unix version?
3.2? If not, will it be at some point soon? Thanks for your time!

The head code on CVS, yes. There's no tarball of it yet, as 3.2.1 isn't
considered done. It will be in a few weeks I think. There's an issue with
itk:TopLevel causing core dumps with 8.3.3. That's the last bug left.
