[gaim-migrate @ 12012] This is a nontrivial change to the way signal handlers are implemented and used in Tcl. This changes signal handlers to being standard Tcl functions by way of a little bit of namespace glue. In addition, in/out arguments to signals are now implemented via variables which should be upvar'd; this is a little more verbose than the old method, but it should fit people's Tcl expectations a little better, since normally Tcl function arguments are not call-by-reference. This still isn't 64-bit safe, and the documentation wasn't updated. I expect there will be more nontrivial changes to Tcl before 2.0, so those things are pending.

 The Gaim Tcl interface provides a Tcl API for many useful gaim
 functions.  Like the perl API, the Tcl API does not provide
 access to every corner of gaim exposed by the @e C interface.  It does,
