The problem is that the code is already messy, and Adam describes his
solution as messy, and it is difficult if not impossible to get people
to test on all the required platforms. I can test on OS X w/o
macports and a linux box, Charlie would probably be able to test on
win32, and Adam can test on macports. Perhaps you and Adam can
collaborate on a patch and we'll see if we can get it properly tested.
 There are lots of tcl/tk combinations out there on different
platforms, so it is a trick issue.

Just getting to this thread now -- I think this was introduced in my 
recent changes. I'm used to being on platforms where this is defined, 
so I forgot that it's not always there.
In this specific case "unsigned char" is probably equivalent everywhere 
we run, so we might as well just do that. If a Windows user can verify 
that fix works, I'll fix it in SVN.
