Purpose: pointers to tutorials, books, tips, etc. for creating, interacting, etc. [Tcl] via the C API.

Tcl's original purpose, as detailed in [John Ousterhout]'s seminal Usenet paper, [ftp://ftp.scriptics.com/pub/tcl/doc/tclUsenix90.ps] [[Anyone have a URL to this paper in html?]] was to provide
a developer with a standard language that could be embedded in their applications, providing
continuity and ease learning curves.  So in the beginning, the intent was that Tcl would
be accessed only via the [C] [API].  Over the years, some have lost sight of that goal
due to the simplicity of using the tclsh sample application that builds as a part of
compiling the Tcl libraries.
