I'm always open to feedback. Just drop a line.

I'll put that on the todo list to add more info to the user manual about 
the utilities. It may not be comprehensive, due to the amount of space. 
But perhaps I can also dredge up some good links so users can 
investigate further.

The reason why there isn't any documentation in TkInfo about those 
utilities is because those utilities were found quite some time ago 
mostly in one or two packages. They were already prebuilt for Windows. 
So no docs were generated for them.
