WTK for APWTCL 

During first half year of 2012 [APWTCL] (the successor of [itcl in javascript]) has been implemented and based on the [javascript] version two additional versions have been implemented for better native performance: [APWTCL (Java)] for Android based handhelds and [APWTCL (Objective-C)] for iPhone. To have running something comparable to [Tk] for [APWTCL], there was the decision  to use [wtk] from [Mark Roseman] (https://github.com/roseman/wtk) as a base. This splits up the administration and data of a widget to be handled with [Tcl] (snit classes and objects) from the representation, which uses native support from the environment it is running on. Original wtk was dedicated to support javascript only, my implementation inserts an environment independent interface (using a string based protocol) in between and then uses native support for displaying and handling the widgets and events. The action handling on the events is done by passing the information back to the [Tcl] part, which is modifying the (Tcl side) data and calling [Tcl] callback scripts if necessary.
