Hi Marc,
well, your knowledge already superseeds my knowledge, so I was looking 
for some help. We had the TTT telco today and Donal Fellows said, that 
the proposal does not work and he will look about a better solution.

To "patch" is to replace the file "msgcat-1.9.2.tm" by a modified file.
Unfortunately, this is not so easy any more, as the tcl library is now 
within a zip file, as TCL9 puts all tcl files in a zip file.

Thanks for all,
Harald
