Can someone who has this already as a .kit put this on the wiki or something? The wiki pages all point to the version years out of date, and the idea of uninstalling Tcl 8.5, installing Tcl 8.4, building the starkit, then uninstalling 8.4 and installing 8.5 again, just to get a starkit that's specifically designed to not need you to install any Tcl at all seems a bit much to me.

I don't know if there are plans to distribute dtp with either ActiveTcl 8.5
or the teapot archive; the teapot has the application dtplite but I have
not tried it.

Well, my "teacup get dtplite" tells me it copied the application, but it doesn't seem to have actually added any files whose name starts with "dtp" to my drive. It adds "application-dtplite-1.0-tcl.tm" to the teapot repository, and that looks like Tcl code, but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with it when it's in there? Is there an "install" step or something?
