This sounds like there is a new cross-platform interface that could substitute for the old Tcl 7.* approach. It might be kinda painful to support both new and old via conditional compilation (so that we don't break support for Tcl 7.*), but in principle it could be done. Does anyone have time to work on libpgtcl? If you can write C it shouldn't be too hard to fix it. regards, tom lane
