This sounds like there is a new cross-platform interface that could
substitute for the old Tcl 7.* approach. It might be kinda painful to
support both new and old via conditional compilation (so that we don't
break support for Tcl 7.*), but in principle it could be done. Does
anyone have time to work on libpgtcl? If you can write C it shouldn't
be too hard to fix it.
