I knew how to get the job done quickly in C, not in TCL.
Also there are some extra runtime requirements like:
"not bigger nor slower than necessary".
The C version runs quite a bit faster. The compiled C code is a
lot smaller than including an interpreter. texutil.c links easily
to tex.c (and tex.rb would have been a bit too much work ;)). etc.
Incidentally: yes, I have a tex.c. That may in fact become GPL-ed
sometime in the future, if and when our finished project deviates
sufficiently from tex.c+texutil.c
