Обсуждение: tcl bindings for 8.0

The README from 8.0-beta3 says "This distribution also contains several
language bindings, including C and Tcl" but I'm not finding libpgtcl
being built, nor can I find a way to tell it to.  I see pgtcl is on
http://gborg.postgresql.org, so this mean that the README is out of date
and I need to download a separate piece?  Does it currently work with
beta3 given that the proejct says "Enhancements will include converting
all commands to use Tcl 8-style objects"?

Oh, *Tcl* 8 objects.  I was reading that as PostgreSQL 8 at first.
Still, my question stands.  Is libpgtcl in 8.0-beta3 and I'm missing it
or do I need to download?

The README for 8.0beta3 is wrong on Tcl and I sent in a patch so it should
be fixed in a future release. Tcl is now unbundled, so if you want to write
client apps in Tcl that talk to PostgreSQL, visit gborg.postgresql.org and
take a look. There are currently at least 3 Tcl interfaces there.
I have tested my two, pgin.tcl-2.1.0 and pgintclng-1.5.1, talking to a
PostgreSQL-8.0beta3 server (on Linux only) and both passed my test suite.

Yeah, looks like Neil applied that about two weeks ago.
