Tclkit Lite is a new (as of Oct 2005) variant of Tclkit which is a limited edition of Tclkit.

The limits are:
   * it only reads/runs/mounts Metakit-based starkits & starpacks, it cannot (yet) create or modify them
   * it does not include [Mk4tcl], so all dependencies on C++ are gone
   * it adds a small TEA3-based new C-only extension (called "Thrive")
   * performance is "sort of" like Tclkit, but varies because it's a different code base
   * it does not use the "mk4vfs" VFS driver, but a simpler one called "mkclvfs" (MK Compat Lite)

The steps needed to build Tclkit Lite require the latest version of "genkit".
Stay tuned as I get things ready for others to start building this new lite variant themselves. -[jcw]
