I would very much like to upgrade the Tcl/Tk support in the one-click
installer, but I have two problems: 1) I don't personally know anything
about Tcl/Tk, and 2) I have too many higher priority things on my plate
(both inside and outside of my Ruby work). This has made me reluctant to do
anything significant with the Tcl/Tk stuff that ships with the one-click
installer.

If anyone is willing to volunteer to do the work to upgrade the one-click
installer's Tcl/Tk support, please let me know.

Thanks,
Curt
