We should really find out, I was not able to be very closely tuned in
to development at that time, but I do recall the discussion with
Marcus and yourself about those changes. I'm sure the archive will
have clues.

Just get the last released SRPMS for BLT from Red Hat 7.3, and we can
use that (unless there's a newer BLT, in which case we should probably
track the new version if we can), the same with jikes. It would be
nice to get rid of the Tcl/Tk/BLT toolchain altogether and replace it
with a more modern and/or maintained toolkit (e.g. wxWindows, which is
cross-platform), but that's a lot of work (we did do a complete
Java/AWT prototype once).
Tcl/Tk is still going strong, but I suspect BLT may be going off to
the pasture sometime soon.
