i checked it, and really - i was wrong about Img extension. it's not the
part of distributions. winecfg uses this extension becouse of *.xpm
support, in order to not have binary files in CVS tree. from sensible
formats tk support only GIFs, and that format isn't free, so there would
be a need for Img extension anyway :-(

the home page link i found for exepak is not valid anymore. development
of this tool seems to be frozen.

i'll put the source code of all that packages on the web.
