This is long-gone, but...

Actually, when shabby first installed exmh in the sipb locker, I had
him install tcl/tk in there as a prerequisite.  There was some talk
inside of IS about putting it in the release, since it was being used
by many packages at the time, but I guess that got punted.

That said, I think it probably wouldn't be a terrible idea for tcl to
be installed in the sipb locker, but, then again, I think that athena
inter-locker organization is mostly gone at this point.

At the time, the idea was to keep the stable tcl in sipb and the
latest in tcl; I suspect that broke when a new exmh needed the latest
tcl...  Do any of the (other) tcl locker people have an opinion?
