Subject: Itk/Iwidgets ports

I have been working on a port of [Incr Tk] and [Incr Widgets] to Ruby.  You
can find these packages at http://sourceforge.net/projects/incrtcl/ and more
information in the book [Incr Tcl/Tk] from the Ground Up by Chad Smith.

[Incr Tcl] is an object oriented extension to the Tcl language, and [Incr
Tk] is a library built on top of [Incr Tcl] to enable the creation of
"mega-widgets".  There is a nice set of widgets based on this called [Incr
Widgets].  The original author of all this is Michael McLennan of Lucent.

So far, I have ported most of the low-level code that enables the creation
of megawidgets, and have almost completed porting the EntryField megawidget.
I will use EntryField to as a basis for fully debugging the low-level code,
and then port other megawidgets.

At the moment, I am doing this for my own use, but if people are interested,
I will look into putting the work onto SourceForge.
