I hope you are kidding. tcl? who uses that anymore? If not, then why not shared language support for any of Python (best), Perl (icky ;-), shell and others. Oh, wait, I've got it! Why not make maildrop take on all of the properties of all languages! I'm with Sam - I hate bloat. If he wants to write shared module support for it, then that's fine. -- Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner.
