[George Peter Staplin]: Oct 29, 2005 - Megapkg is my largest project so far.  It contains a lot of C and Tcl code that is evolving.

The current list of (useful) Tcl/Tk extensions is:

    * pwm.so (used by [Whim window manager])
    * tgext.so (used by [Whim window manager] for some applets.  It's also available eventually as a C API via tg.so.)
    * structure.so (see [megapkg structure extension].  This is used by some widgets, and IIRC a tgext.so demo.)
    * gui.so (general drawing functions.  It's used less now that I have tgext.so)
    * megaimage.so/megaimage.dll a fast image manipulation extension.
    * megaimagetk.so/megaimagetk.dll a fast megaimage <-> photo tool, and megaimage.frame widget for fast image display (Windows port of megaimage.frame is making progress).  
    * jpegext2.so/jpegext2.dll read/write works great.  Just requires Tcl and megaimage. 
    * pngext2.so read/write works great.  Just requires Tcl and megaimage.
    * sys.so (used for applet [IPC] by [Whim window manager])
   
'''Megapkg''' has a radical source tree layout (by some standards).  All *.c files are generated with [Fed Builder].  There is only one file to compile ${Ext}_Init.c per extension.  The ${Ext}_Init.c file for the particular extension #includes a header file.  The header file defines structures, and #includes many C source files (usually).  2 Tcl scripts are used to generate prototypes, and includes automatically.
