You can also use ffcall-1.3.1 if you have trouble with libffi.
ffcall is a little more portable than libffi.  The `downside' (feh),
is that ffcall is GPLed, not LGPLed.

Those should all work, yes.  The only constraint is that if you want
to use Tcl/Tk 8.0, you do need to use BLT8.0-unoff.  For those that
wonder what "unoff" means, it's "unofficial".  The person that originally 
developed BLT sort of quit, and there was a fork between 2.1 and 2.3
and 8.0-unoff was the result.  BLT 2.3 is the last version from
the `official' maintainer.
