Re:VFS shim that allows a SQLite database to be appended to ... by yellowapple on Sunday June 10, 2018 @05:31PM (#17280255)
"Not yet published or documented, but you can do "make sqltclsh" from the SQLite source tarball and generate a TCL interpreter with SQLite built in. If you also append an SQLite database to this interpreter, it reads its scripts from the database. Use this to build stand-alone Tcl/Tk/SQLite applications."

Holy shit. This will be a godsend. I've been searching for an easy and robust way to package Tcl scripts into executables independent of a full-blown Tcl installation (I've tried a couple different approaches, but they all tend to have issues on some platform or other). This answers my prayers rather thoroughly, provided it can be documented and made relatively easy to do.
