It surely would be great if this excellent tool could be distributed in
the ActiveTcl distribution...

Anyone is of course free to redistribute it as it is covered under a
BSD license. As an aside, there is a new Windows Tcl distribution from
Martin Matuska that does include TWAPI - see http://wintcltk.berlios.de
and http://developer.berlios.de/projects/wintcltk.
