Due to popular demand (all ten of my fingers), I've put together a very
powerful Windows macro engine using TCL and the CWIND package. See
http://www.interq.or.jp/japan/s-imai/tcltk/cwind.html. It's licensed
under the LGPL, unlike WinTclSend.

Being able to use the full capabilities of TCL with Windows macros and
clipboard access has been an amazing experience. I've set things up so
all macros run from a single script file. Wish interprets the macro
script, expands some things, and then evaluates the script.

I'd be happy to release this under the GPL is someone promises to set up
a sourceforge-type site and maintain the package. Part of the
maintenance would be providing a place for users to submit their
scripts. Another part would be conveying bug reports etc. to the CWIND
package and keeping the packaged version current.

Right now, I rely on external hotkey mechanism to launch wish, which
waits for the next keystroke and runs the macro. It would be far better
if wish (actually, tclsh in that case) could stay running in the
background and wait for the hotkey itself. But that requires Win32 API
work, no?

Any takers?
