The dqkit is very nice and is almost exactly what I have been looking for.  I 
have wanted to create a Windows tclkit.exe that contained BLT.  However, dqkit 
contains many other packages that I do not need making the .exe larger than I 
would like it to be. So....

Instead of just asking someone to create a tclkit.exe with the BLT package 
included in it (unless this has already been done and is posted somewhere).  I 
would like to learn how to create it. I am very new to this so I am a little 
overwhelmed.  I have read the info on the wiki.tcl.tk page but I can't seem to 
follow some of it.

I have never compiled the Tcl core or any other packages I have always just 
used what was available to me.  I have used tclkit.exe and the sdx utility to
qwrap, unwrap and wrap myapp.exe so I am not completely new to the tclkit 
ideas.  

I just would like to learn the steps of how to create a tclkit.exe that is 
exactly the same as the tclkit-win32.upx.exe located here 
http://www.equi4.com/pub/tk/ but with the BLT package included also. 

I realize that the BLT package is not like some other Tcl extension packages 
because it is not stubs enabled but I still would like to learn more about 
tclkits.

Thanks in advance.
