Full disclosure: I am also on the grants committee; however, these
notes are from a parrot/partcl perspective.

Running it directly fails for me with:

 Could not find a suitable tcl shared library!

Despite the fact that I have tclsh8.4 installed in /usr/bin (which
depends on /usr/lib/libtcl8.4.so.0)

A few nits that I think need resolution before this would get into core:

* The top level 'Tcl' namespace has long been used by partcl; It would
be nice if you could pick another top level namespace; perhaps
TclLibrary ?
* Code in "library/" shouldn't have a :main sub; if you'd like to
create an example/ to exercise the library that would be great, which
leads to:
* Needs tests.

That file no longer exists.
