While avoiding bloat is a worthy goal, it seems to me that a good
place to draw that line is at the standard Tcl/Tk. I don't think
adding those libs will add a lot, but it does mean that people can
rely on the standard Tcl/Tk docs to know what they can do with Tcl/Tk
in Pd.

I have to crank up my PC anyway to see about a bug report (asio4all
seems
not to work with 0.43) but probably won't be able to get to it this
weekend -
I have lots of bureaucrap awaiting me...

Miller, do you think you could add the libs that come with Tcl/Tk to
your included version? There are two folders called 'reg1.2' and
'dde1.3' that should go into pd/lib directly, they come with Tcl/Tk
in tcl/library/. These will also be needed to support making a
double-clicked file open in the currently running instance of Pd.
Really everything in tcl/library/ should be included so we have a
full Tcl/Tk install.
Yvan, it should also be possible to include the 'reg1.2' folder in
your plugin folder for making a plugin that people can use now. I
think its just a matter of adding the local folder to the auto_path,
so adding something like this to the plugin:
set auto_path [linsert $auto_path 0 \
[file join $::current_plugin_loadpath "openrecent-plugin"]
