George Peter Staplin Oct 25, 2005 - Megapkg is my largest project so far. It contains a lot of C and Tcl code that is evolving.
PYK 2013-10-08: megapkg_ref_2415.tar.bz2 Seems to be the only remaining download for megapkg.
The current sources (as of Sep 24, 2007) are available from here: http://code.google.com/p/megapkg/source
Most of these extensions work with Windows and Unix-like systems.
The current list of (useful) Tcl/Tk extensions is:
