Hi Jacob,

unfortunately, this masterpiece is orphaned. The creator, Chrisitan G., 
does not plan to continue.

Brian Griffin did a proof of concept using the new Tcl Obj interface, 
which allows to directly pass a vectcl number (float, bignum) to a Tcl 
number without passing by a string representation and vice versa.

I am sure, Christian will assist anybody in the transition, but does not 
want to do the work himself.

I already tried to motivate Torsten Berg to look into that...

Thank you all,
Harald
