Yes and no.
I do have pgtclsh and pgwish (which I renamed from pgtksh) in my project.
They build and test OK, but I moved them to an "extra" directory, labeled
them as "deprecated", and do not provide auto-configure. Also, I won't
include support for building them on Windows. In my opinion, it's so much
better to use dynamic package loading with Tcl, that it makes no sense to
link a specific extension into a Tcl shell anymore. "package require
Pgtcl" is the way to go. But if anyone really needs the pg* shells, they
can edit a few lines in the Makefile and build them.
However... shortly after I created a new project on Gborg for my version of
the Tcl interface, the original Gborg pgtcl project started getting
updates. I don't know what Brett's plans are, but I'm in a quandary about
what to do. I'm very close to finishing up my version, including the new
reference manual and Windows binary release, but I've held off uploading or
releasing anything. I didn't count on forking an active project, and I
don't want to do the wrong thing. Advice?

I agree with the above assessment about pgtclsh and
pgtksh

My plans are to keep working on pgtcl. Not sure if
this answers your question or not...if you want me to
expand upon that, then let me know.
