Itcl HEAD shows failures in 28 tests; I have posted the log to
http://www.utdt.edu/~mig/itclErr.txt

As stated in the previous mail: I have opened tip-278-branch at tcl cvs, 
where the tip is implemented. Currently with really minimal mods: just 
disableing the secondary lookup path for variables, no other code 
changes. The newly possible optimisations are not yet in place.

You can get the branch via anon ftp from sourceforge:

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@tcl.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/tcl login
(hit return on pwd request)

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@tcl.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/tcl          co -tip-278-branc
h tcl

Building the branch with --disable-shared, then configuring itcl with 
--with-tcl=/path/to/branch/unix and running make test on itcl.

See above.

Cheers, thanks for looking
