Hm, it looks like only tclobjc1.0 uses that. However, I could not find
any references to tclobjc, which itself has not seen any non-bulk
changes since 2007. Similarly, cflib1.0 is not used by anything else and
has not seen changes since 2003. I also checked Pallet and
MacPorts.framework, but as far as I can see, nothing uses this.

Looks like they were written as an experiment that was never finished.
I propose we just get rid of this dead code.
