Starpack generation

Eskil is normally distributed as a Starkit which needs a Tclkit to run. If you have ActiveTcl installed, tclsh can also run a Starkit.

To generate a stand-alone executable, a Starpack, of Eskil you need the following:

A Tclkit for your platform. (tclkit)
The Sdx utility. (sdx)
Eskil's Starkit. (eskil.kit)

./tclkit sdx unwrap eskil.kit
cp tclkit tclkit2
./tclkit sdx wrap eskil -runtime tclkit2

Note that this could be generated on any platform, not just the target. Then tclkit should be for the current platform and tclkit2 should be for the target platform.
