Thomas,

The Tcl sources require a minor change before you can have it work with
AOLServer.  The guys at AOL developed a special allocator designed for
much better performance with threads.  I do plan on putting this into
the core (now that license issues are resolved), but it needs a bit more
time because the current version (in the AOLServer head) only works on
Unix.  Once that is addressed, 8.4 (and likely a backport for 8.3.5)
will work fine "out-of-the-box".

I guess it would actually work now, but without the enhanced allocator,
the performance would be unsatisfactory.
