This serves as a place for the official Tk 9.
If you're interested in the stuff that was previously here see: NexTk.
If the Xv code still fails, don't fret, because you can run the demo! (Please let me know if it does fail, because it's supposed to automatically fallback to MIT-SHM.) You can do:
export NEXTK_DISABLE_XV=1 tclkit8.5 NexTk_demo5b.kit

I have ported the base widget that hosts Tk9 within Tk8.x to Windows. I'm now regularly building Windows DLLs with the MinGW cross compiler from pkgsrc. There are many changes I've made to the C extensions. I also had to modify the tk9_demo.vfs files to work in Windows, and created an archmap.tcl for having the Starkit support multiple platforms.
Here's a link to the Starkit that supports NetBSD x86, Linux x86, and Windows for 8.5a4 tclkits:

Thanks to Pat Thoyts and RS for testing in Windows, and elsewhere.
DKF suggested that I change the name to NexTk1. I like the sound of NexTk.
I'm thinking seriously about finishing my notes on the nv driver for X, so that I can mmap the memory, setup the card, and use this as my window system. I was thinking that I could use a modified Xvfb with this code to support X11 apps in my own window system.
It's probably time to profile the code in the demo. Some hot spots may exist in the C code or the demo itself. The grid engine is basically finished for now I think. Once I get it working in real world apps I think that will be the real test of it.
