I keep hearing stuff about this "fix" but I have yet to see
a patch on the list. Perhaps it is still in development.

Nope, no "feature changes" are going into 1.2.6. I still have some
error message improvements that I want to add before 1.2.6
will go out but there are no features that need to be changed (IMHO).
A compiler switch for stubs might be a good thing to add to 1.3.

Anyone in their right mind would compile Tcl Blend from
the source, it is just those poor windows folks with no
compilers that I am worried about. I just don't see any
reason to keep using Tcl 8.2 as the default for windows
folks.
