Can't try this cause I have no globally installed Tcl.  I only use tclkit on 
windows to test -- and develop on linux ;-)

I'm stymied.  To eliminate all possible sideeffects, I have made a simple 
script:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
set fp [open [file join [file dirname [info script]] testlog.txt] w]
puts $fp "loaded: [info loaded]"
close $fp
exit
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

and drop it onto the former mentioned (and just to be sure freshly downloaded 
from equi4) tclkits, just to get this result:

loaded: {{} Tk} {{} registry} {{} dde} {{} zlib} {{} vfs} {{} rechan} {{} 
Mk4tcl} {{} Itcl}

What magic is going on here???

I can't require both of this packages:
- registry doesn't provide a version
- and dde provides 1.3.2 instead of 1.3.1

What is the source of your tclkit(s)?
Mine is
  http://www.equi4.com/pub/tk/8.5a4/tclkit-win32.exe.gz
  http://www.equi4.com/pub/tk/8.5a4/tclkit-win32.upx.exe


And there is another thing, that I can't explain.  If a tdom package is in the 
auto_path, it is loaded even without an 'package require'.  And what is 
worse, it's loaded at the first time the auto_path gets scanned for available 
packages (and this means in main.tcl in a standard starkit).

  It's worse, cause on a 64 bit machine a 32 bit starkit provides x86_64 as
  tcl_platform(machine) and so prevents the right 32-packages from loading)

Enough of this mystic things for today
Uwe
