[Pkg-tcltk-devel] Tcl 8.6 as default in "jessie": XOTcl to NSF transition

Got it. Once I had realized that this is all about xotclsh and xowish 
only, it became clear to me.

I fixed this in upstream:

http://fisheye.openacs.org/changelog/nsf?cs=0b634cffa265e935910e419f176be8e9bbfc08ac

It is basically your patch plus two minor stitches to use the stubbed 
versions of Tcl_Init() in xotclsh and xowish (otherwise they would have 
segfaulted).

Question remains (as we do not plan to make a new upstream release):

1) patching in debian source package only (using quilt)?
2) new debain source package version based on unreleased upstream (git 
HEAD)?

What is your preference?

Thx!
Stefan
