Seems BLT 2.4 is known not to work with Tcl 8.5

Seems to work fine with Tcl 8.4

If you permit generic advice, I think it is better to crystallize
one's needs re BLT and project them into the 8.5+ universe than to
stick to 8.4 forever. Doing this exercise you will learn a lot of
what's already there in the Tcl (and Tk) core. For the rest, work is
currently being done to bring vectors and graphs aboard the Arch, and
[bgexec] is approximately emulated in 8.6. And of course any extra
need that you can make a convincing case about covering in the core,
is worth mentioning...
