Hi Keith,
first of all, thank you very much for the effort you are putting in this! Maybe you should buy your wife an i-Pad, then you can keep her Windows machine.
To be honest I would prefer a solution with only sourceware-supplied sources. I think it would be better not to have to rely on (a lot of) external components, it is allready complicated enough the way it is now. But that's just my humble opinion. The ActiveState Tcl solution is probably very nice & useful for lots of people.
P.S. If I manage to build a working Windows executable, would I be allowed to put it up for downloading? (for free of course)
