I agree with your comments on benchmarking wholeheartedly. But I also
wanted to emphasize your point here. In the past, we have suggested
that ActiveState do exactly this. At a minimum, ship tclodbc or
something similar with ActiveTcl or TDK like they now do with Oratcl.
The challenge was various licensing restrictions they would face.
