I've delivered a couple of projects as Starpacks, because they are even
simpler for the user if you are supporting only one platform. I've
often wondered how I'd support multiple platforms, if it ever came to
that. I assume I'd deliver a Starkit plus a collection of Tclkits, with
an installer that picked the right one for the platform. Or could I
just install *all* the Tclkits on all the platforms, and launching the
Starkit would just automagically launch the right Tclkit?
