Metakit 1.8.6

From WHATSNEW.TXT:

WHAT IS THIS RELEASE?

  This new release is a maintenance release which consolidates the last
  changes made to Metakit, and especially Mk4tcl (the Tcl interface).
  Fixed a bug related to memory mapped files under Win 95/98 (not NT).
  Commit now returns false if disk errors prevent a succesful commit.
  Most changes are in Mk4tcl and the new Tclkit runtime (see below).

From README.TXT:

The Metakit release is split up into a number of different packages, each of which can be downloaded as a separate archive.

                builds for a specific platform (often "libmk4.a").
