ok. Leaving license files inside distribution untouched is not enough, 
one needs reading them and following instructions closely.
I made those archives unavailable.
I thought about making "ppm" similar to perl/Tk, where installing "ppm" 
is enough to get module running.
But, indeed, Windows users will install ActiveTcl just fine before 
installing something like vkonovalov.ru/tcltk-misc/perl-TclTk-0.87.zip

Unsurprisingly, I suspected something like this :)

I'll review my updates and will correct them with all that in mind.

starkit with perl inside it will make many things easier, so I think it 
is interesting to try.

Thank you in advance, I'll follow download instructions closely and will 
let you know.
