As tbcload and tclcompiler are nowadays supported as part of
ActiveStates commercial TDK I doubt the tclcompiler will see the
updates, but probably the tbcload will..., at least i do not know
anybody working on the tclpro project besides Andreas Kupries from
ActiveState..., and as they have commercial interest in the
compiler...go figure
