Hey...
I've done some hacking on Pgtcl, and am looking for some people to test it before feeding it back to the PostgreSQL people.
With this version, all of the pg_* commands have been recoded at the C level to use Tcl objects. This should improve performance in most cases, dramatically when executing complex code bodies with pg_select and pg_execute. Several other things have been cleaned up and standardized, and support for Tcl 7 has been dropped, with the attendant code cleanup that made possible.
At the Tcl interface level, it's almost 100% compatible with Pgtcl 1.3. Check the file KNOTES for details.

This has been tested some, but not a lot, and a test suite needs to be written (hint, hint). Do not put it into production without testing it first.
I am looking for people to try it, and in particular, pick up and help contribute. Check the TODO file for possible projects.
Also I have included an experimental interface to the asynchronous query processing capability provided in the C API. This allows Tcl programs to use Postgres without blocking while waiting for results, to obtain multiple Postgres results when executing a query with multiple statements, and provides the ability to cancel requests that are currently being processed.
