Under separate cover I've given Leo the current version of the Tcl
interpreter, hopefully he'll reply shortly that there were no problems
committing. =-)

Checked with a CVS checkout of a few minutes ago, all tests (still)
pass. (Thanks, Bernhard - the spirit of your patch is still there,
though some of the particulars are different.)

Feedback welcome. As are more patches. As would a pointer to a tcl
distro of the early 7 vintage whose test suite I might have a prayer of
passing a small portion of. =-)

From the CHANGELOG:

2004-03-15

* More builtin procs supported, notably:
proc, expr, for, format,
while, break, continue, return, source
* Initial expr support
Decimal operands, most operators, most builtin math
funcs,
precedence, parens for grouping
* split __parse into separate parse/interpret stages
* Use improved imcc syntax where possible
* more tests
* changed substitution macro mess to pcc sub mess
* support various return codes (TCL_OK, TCL_ERROR, etc.)
* cleaned up examples/

Bad form to self-reply, I know, but I found the old distros at

http://sourceforge.net/project/
showfiles.php?group_id=10894&package_id=10452

Sadly, I'm still missing enough various procs it'll take me a while to
run the harness.

Looks like it'll be easier to get going for 7.6p2 than the latest rev,
however.
