New issue 80 by marin...@gmail.com: consider switching from jacl to jtcl
for tcl support
http://code.google.com/p/jsoar/issues/detail?id=80

* jacl is no longer being developed, and does not contain many newer tcl
features (most notably, dictionaries, but other random things as well)
* jtcl is a fork of jacl that is being actively maintained, and even though
it is only targeting tcl 8.4, this already gives it more features than jacl
(most notably, dictionaries). The only things missing seem to be due to
restrictions in the jvm.

An alternative might be TclBlend, but as that is an interface to the C
version of Tcl, it would create cross-platform issues. Also, it's not clear
that it is still being actively maintained, or what version of tcl it
supports.
