I investigated the C header files of TCL 8.0 and 8.5 and found them
quite different. Therefore I've created totally new TCL 8.5 header
translations. Please find attached the files.

Additionally I've started a little OOP wrapper for the interpreter. I'm
not quite sure whether it is so helpful to wrap all the functions, so
only a few are there.

The IMHO interesting part is a OOP wrapper to create custom data types
(TCL calls this "object types") for custom commands. It is tested and
provides a very clean interface to make your class type a TCL object
type. Please find attached some examples.

Could interested people please have a look at the sources and give me
feedback and suggestions for improvements? When everything is polished
I'd be happy if it is included in the official FreePascal sources.

Thanks
