That looks more like some C++ hacks, to make it think that it is Tcl ?

I was just doing a quick-and-dirty translation of the Tcl and Tk libs,
somewhat surprised that Tk needed X11 headers but otherwise not too bad.

See http://www.algonet.se/~afb/d/tkhelloworld.d

tcl/tcl.d
tcl/tclDecls.d
tcl/tclPlatDecls.d

tk/tk.d
tk/tkDecls.d
tk/tkPlatDecls.d
tk/tkIntXlibDecls.d
tk/X11/X.d
tk/X11/Xlib.d
tk/X11/Xutil.d

Will post to my D bindings page, when cleaned up...
(I used Apple's bundled Tcl.framework/Tk.framework)

But I don't think I will play with tk more than that.
