Perhaps Alistair can speak up here? I guess he did the initial import of the
package from a FreeBSD port. Perhaps he just copied and adjusted it without
much thought, too?

I would suggest: Use tcl und tk as the package names and keep tcl80 and tk80
until the references from the depending packages are gone. I will do that for
some packages (at least those I use and where I am able to see problems) and
might try for some others that seem easy to fix. But as I said before the
fixes from me will have to wait some time. But I guess it will not hurt to
have tcl and tk besides the tcl80/tk80 packages for some time, will it?

BTW: Thanks to Hubert and the rest who worked on Packages.txt. I could learn
something about writing packages when I finally looked into that file ;-)

Bye,
Bjoern
