Sorry, but it just ain't gonna work. Tclkit can only load
stubs-enabled shared runtime libraries. And BLT (2.4) depends on
Tcl/Tk internals, so it is not a stubs enabled extension. To use BLT
in a starkit/starpack, you need to have it hard-linked into the
runtime. And dqkit is one such "extended tclkit" runtime..
