On new aolserver installations, I install the ActiveState "batteries

/usr/local/), which makes for an extremely capable AolServer/tcl
distro. hmm.. it might actually be possible to build aolserver
against the activestate distro directly to accomplish this.
The ActiveState "batteries included" tcl version competes really
well, IMHO, with PHP and Perl. My only issue has been that
apparently TclX doesn't play nice with AOLserver and can cause
unclean shutdowns (I think Dossy said this), otherwise I have a wide
variety of libraries, pretty much all the same stuff as PHP/Perl.
I've said before that AOLServer would best be served as a series of
modules that leverage standard distributions. In this way it would
become more like Ruby on Rails or similar Python frameworks. A more
elegant coupling will probably improve things all around. To that
end, I can assist with the de/recoupling, although my time resources
for me are unfortunately not in abundance.
Would it be even possible to have AOLServer as a tcl module, and thus
automatically distributed with the batteries included releases?
Yes, although it would require being used with a threaded Tcl core.
