 We are planning some other C-based widgets, but more importantly we are
 working on getting the last bits in for correct and efficient megawidget
 support in the core.  We feel it's more important to support megawidgets
 correctly than add C widgets for most people.  Many users have already
 seen the capabilities of pure Tcl megawidget systems like BWidgets.
 They do have their quirks, but often this is due to the limitations at
 the Tk level.  We hope to wipe these out in 8.4.
