Subject: README: Tcl-URL! - the weekly guide to Tcl resources (Feb 1)

Loads of great discussions again this week, of which we can only
mention a couple here.  There were a few new software and resource
announcements, and a couple of others we managed to sleuth up.
Note also the addition of Scriptics' evangelism site in our regular
list of resources.

    The addition of new widgets in Tk 8.2 is a good opportunity
    to try out the model where the Tcl/Tk core consists of the kernel
    plus loadable modules

    The same thread also discusses issues relating to the difficulty
    of managing both packages and standalone binaries

    The first beta release of TclPro 1.2 is available

    Jeff Hobbs posted a speedup patch for the Tk libraries,
    cleaning up their Tcl code (bracketed expr, string compare...)
