Yes, they may be fixed in the future. Though I can't stop working waiting
for them to be fixed. So I have to work with what I can get today.

The point I was making is that having everyone compiling
Tcl/TclBlend/extensions is big waste of time. Ideally, people can download
and use so that they can focus on developing solutions using the tools
rather than worrying about compiling the tools. But I guess that is as much
a wishful thinking as hoping that the extensions will be fixed to be
thread-safe.
