Sure. Let me do some final tests (checking that PL/Tcl in the
current version works with Tcl7.5 and Tcl8.0 with the same
sources). Then I'll upload a tar for putting it into
src/pl/pltcl or contrib/pl/pltcl (expecting the source
directory in ../../src).

There is a little test suite included into the directory. It
checks triggers, functions, operators and aggregates. Since
building is optional, I don't think that a real regression
test is a good idea.

Time is limited. So the USE_PLTCL part is up to you - sorry.

Until later, Jan
