Well this a little more than what you're saying here :D gui.tcl itself has a
lot of instructions in its body which are not wrapped into functions.

really source'ing all those files takes 1/2 of the boot time process. If
there weren't inner dependencies and I could load them *after* the window
had been displayed, and one by one , boot time would look significatly
faster

btw, I would move away from the "amsn" script all the proc definitions,
tests, whatever and I would move them into a bootstrap.tcl as you suggest.

Beside this, I would break into pieces a lot of the code in amsn (I mean all
of the source of amsn). There are procs of tens of lines, how can you pass
them through without getting mad? :P
As you're rewriting the contactlist take this as a suggestion. And don't be
frightened of break guicontactlist.tcl into several files if this would help
;)
I mean: you need to create a contact ? You have to write name, put the buddy
icon, the PSM etc
Ok, define a proc :)
Even better, define a ContactList object, made of ContactGroups containing
ContactObjects which can be Print{}'ed, Create{ $id }'ed etc.
What's more OO than a GUI? ;)

Yep I know :p but with my own project up and running (and waiting for
updates) and exams coming up, I would hardly be helpful :P
