Hi John,

I very much glad for the much work you've done, especially if you got full or 
almost-full compatibility.

What I am currently not understanding with your version - is what files are and 
what are they came from.

Many perl/Tk-derived files together in same directory with Tcl::Tk files will 
produce a mess.

For example in Configure.pm I see
=========
package Tcl::Tk::Configure;
use vars qw($VERSION);
$VERSION = '4.008'; # $Id: //depot/Tkutf8/Tk/Configure.pm#8 $
....
=========
This 4.008 is obviously poorly updated version in perl/Tk land, which is okay 
with me, but is it possible to invent a way to place all those files into their 
directory? 
Especially all these xbm, xpm and gif files
If perl/Tk and Tcl::tk files are distinguished, it will be easier to check for 
updates from perl/Tk also.

Also, what the "mktransgif.tcl" file for? Its not even in the Manifest.

And, IMO, all versions of all files should be better thought. I see that 
Tcl::Tk version didn't change, and Tcl::Tk::Widget does not have version at all.

Again, thank a lot for the great work.

I'll look into the code in closer details.

Vadim.
