I have yet to get GCL to compile on any of my platforms no matter how hard 
I try.

Well, my thoughts are that unless someone is going to take over supporting 
and developing GCL that yes, it should be dropped.

Anyone thought about just going entirely away from TK to like GTK+ for GUI
support?  GTK+ is available on many more platformst (at least from what I 
can see) than TK is.
