From the README:
OTcl, short for MIT Object Tcl, is an extension to Tcl/Tk for
object-oriented programming. It shouldn't be confused with the IXI
Object Tcl extension by Dean Sheenan. (Sorry, but we both like the
name and have been using it for a while.)
Some of OTcl's features as compared to alternatives are:
* designed to be dynamically extensible, like Tcl, from the ground
up
* builds on Tcl syntax and concepts rather than importing another
language
* compact yet powerful object programming system (draws on CLOS,
Smalltalk, and Self)
* fairly portable implementation (2000 lines of C, without core
hacks)
OTcl was presented at the Tcl/Tk Workshop '95. It constitutes a
standalone release of a system that has been in use, embedded in the
VuSystem, for two years. We made the release public (with free use,
distribution and modification under the MIT license) to meet the
demand for object-oriented programming in Tcl.

With hat: portmgr
- Remove lang/tcl83 and x11-toolkits/tk83 (expired)
- Remove references to Tcl/Tk 8.3 from bsd.tcl.mk
- Update ports that required 8.3+ to require 8.4+ (since 8.5 is the
default, I don't expect this change to cause much trouble)
- Fix build against Tcl/Tk 8.6
- Remove limitation on using a non-threaded version of Tcl/Tk

Mass-conversion to the USE_AUTOTOOLS New World Order. The code present
in bsd.autotools.mk essentially makes this a no-op given that all the
old variables set a USE_AUTOTOOLS_COMPAT variable, which is parsed in
exactly the same way as USE_AUTOTOOLS itself.
Moreover, USE_AUTOTOOLS has already been extensively tested by the GNOME
team -- all GNOME 2.12.x ports use it.
Preliminary documentation can be found at:
http://people.FreeBSD.org/~ade/autotools.txt
which is in the process of being SGMLized before introduction into the
Porters Handbook.
Light blue touch-paper. Run.
