OK, this looks promising.  I forget how to drop into a tcl shell while
running macports.  It would be really nice to be able to set a breakpoint in
a Portfile somehow.

In python, we can import the pydb module and call it at any point in the
program, eg:
http://bashdb.sourceforge.net/pydb/pydb/lib/subsection-calling-pydb-inside-program.html

Does tcl have an equivalent?  How would you set a breakpoint in a Portfile?

Take care, Darren
