libraries and itclsh missing from Tcl8.4?

I am confused as to libraries which used to be part of Tcl8.3
installations that seem to be missing from Tcl8.4 I don't know too
much about Tcl except fixing bugs on others' code here and there. So
if there's something fundamental that I'm missing and you have docs
for me to read, please let me know.
I've inherited a C/Tcl project that has to be upgraded from Tcl8.3 to
Tcl8.4. It builds on Linux and Windows, in Windows under mingw using
gcc and gmake. The upgrade under Linux/Debian was mostly simple;
uninstall the Tcl8.3, install Tcl8.4, and change all Makefile
references to -ltcl8.3 to -ltcl8.4. I was puzzled not to find any
itclsh in the new installation, but managed to hack that as the old
itclsh was still on the box. On the production (Slackware) box I had
installed Tcl8.4 as well as itcl3.2, but again no itclsh. Since we
don't need the itclsh run-time I ignored it.
Under Windows I had more missing stuff. I replaced the old ActiveTcl
installation with ActiveTcl8.4.9.1. The Windows makefile lists a lot
of Tcl-related libraries, I don't know why and what they're used for.
I've managed to find the new versions for most of them (itcl32 ->
itcl3.3/itcl33, itk32 => itk3.3/itk33 etc). But these ones I can't
find in the new installation: itclstub32 itkstub32 snackstub21
tkx83.
Ok so I try to build without them and it seems to work (???) But one
of the Tcl Makefiles calls itclsh32, which needs itcl32.dll - and that
is missing from the installation.
What am I not getting here?
