I take your point about TCL and endorse it. Please excuse my irritation
at finding that the makefile needed a little tweaking to install an
upgrade. TCL is elegant, not wretched, but tclsh appearing in a generic
makefile was a minor nuisance for a person who gets to be more of a
curmudgeon each year. :-)

You need to make a small change in the make file to get rid of the

The problem with the TCL dependency was reported by
tickets #2845 and #2846 and has been fixed in check-in [4636].
John, I will thank you to not refer to tclsh as "wretched". The
Tool Control Language (TCL) is one of the most elegant and
power programming languages ever devised. TCL is not part
of the Algol family of languages (it is more closely related
to Lisp) which makes it difficult to grok for people who have
only been exposed to Algol-like langauges. But this does not
detract from the extreme elegance of the language.
Let me state unambiguiously that SQLite would not be possible
were it not for TCL. 70% of SQLite (all of the test scripts,
which are arguable the most important part of the code base)
is written in TCL.
