Lets see if we can list the pros and cons before we make a final decision.
Pro:
Tcl Blend would work, we would avoid strange edge cases.
We would not need the notifier hacks
Con:
Non-thread safe extensions may have problems under Unix.
Need to detect if Tcl is compiled with thread support. (not too hard)
I am sure I have missed a few.
