Okay.  What do you mean by 'linking in their own structure'?


Re: Tcl
	Tcl is the Tool Control Language developed by Prof. John Ousterhout
at UC Berkeley.  It's a cool little language that's quite simple, very
extensible, etc. that's made to be a embeddable language to be put inside
tools so that people can just deal with one extension language rather than
the myriad of them (i.e., one just learns Tcl instead of having to learn
ELisp for Emacs, some wacko thing for GDB, some other wacko thing for the
shell, etc.).
