[Activetcl] question about teapot metadata

Re: [Activetcl] cat problems | Re: [Activetcl] question about teapot metadata
I was looking to see on which platforms the Img image extension was
available in teapot so I typed:
 $ teacup list --at-default Img  
entity  name version platform
------- ---- ------- --------
package Img  1.3     tcl
------- ---- ------- --------
1 entity found

I thought - that's peculiar. It says it is a tcl package. But when
I fetch and build it, there are a variety of c libraries that get built
for TIFF, JPG, etc.

If I remember correctly, even if the external libraries are not considered
in the metadata designation, there is, I thought, C "glue" code between
those libraries and tcl itself.

Am I mis-remembering things?

Even if explicitly stated to the contrary, nothing in this posting should 
be construed as representing my employer's opinions.
