proj/gentoo: Initial commit
This commit represents a new era for Gentoo: Storing the gentoo-x86 tree in Git, as converted from CVS. This commit is the start of the NEW history. Any historical data is intended to be grafted onto this point. Creation process: 1. Take final CVS checkout snapshot 2. Remove ALL ChangeLog* files 3. Transform all Manifests to thin 4. Remove empty Manifests 5. Convert all stale $Header$/$Id$ CVS keywords to non-expanded Git $Id$ 5.1. Do not touch files with -kb/-ko keyword flags. Signed-off-by: Robin H. Johnson <robbat2@gentoo.org> X-Thanks: Alec Warner <antarus@gentoo.org> - did the GSoC 2006 migration tests X-Thanks: Robin H. Johnson <robbat2@gentoo.org> - infra guy, herding this project X-Thanks: Nguyen Thai Ngoc Duy <pclouds@gentoo.org> - Former Gentoo developer, wrote Git features for the migration X-Thanks: Brian Harring <ferringb@gentoo.org> - wrote much python to improve cvs2svn X-Thanks: Rich Freeman <rich0@gentoo.org> - validation scripts X-Thanks: Patrick Lauer <patrick@gentoo.org> - Gentoo dev, running new 2014 work in migration X-Thanks: Michał Górny <mgorny@gentoo.org> - scripts, QA, nagging X-Thanks: All of other Gentoo developers - many ideas and lots of paint on the bikeshed

+The Tcl/Java project's goal is to make integrating the Java platform and the
+Tcl scripting language as easy as possible. The project actually consists of
+two distinct packages, called Tcl Blend and Jacl. It is important to
+understand what each package provides and in what situations one might choose
+to use Jacl or Tcl Blend.
+
+Tcl Blend is a Tcl extension that makes use of JNI to facilitate communication
+between a Java interpreter and a Tcl interpreter. Tcl Blend is typically used
+to load a Java interpreter into an existing Tcl process, so that functionality
+implemented in Java can be accessed via Tcl. One can also load Tcl Blend and
+Tcl into a Java process, which is a great way to add scripting functionality
+to an existing Java application. Because Tcl Blend is a normal Tcl extension,
+one can use it with other popular Tcl extensions like Tk, Expect, and Itcl.
+
+Jacl is a self-contained implementation of a Tcl interpreter, written entirely
+in Java. Jacl also includes features that facilitate communication between a
+Java interpreter and a Tcl interpreter. Jacl is typically used to incorporate
+scripting functionality into an existing Java application. For users who want
+to avoid adding any native code to their Java applications, Jacl is the ideal
+solution.
+
+Tcl Blend and Jacl define both a Tcl API and a Java API that make it easy to
+call Java code from Tcl or call Tcl code from Java. For example, one could
+allocate a Java object in a Tcl script and interactively invoke Java methods
+on the object. It is also easy to use the supplied API to evaluate a Tcl
+procedure from a Java method or implement Tcl procudures in Java. The flexible
+API and wealth of implementation options provided by the Tcl/Java project make
+integrating Tcl and Java easy.
