 > gvemod-crayola builds but still has a problem because there is a binary
 ({{{src/Crayola}}}) in the distfiles archive that obviously has
 overwritten the original Tcl file that is needed for the build.

 From what I can tell, this situation is amazing. Their build system relies
 on a case-sensitive filesystem because they have a script Crayola and they
 produce a binary crayola in the same directory.
 [https://sourceforge.net/p/geomview/mailman/message/18682536/ You warned
 them that this was a problem] on case-insensitive filesystems in a post on
 their mailing list over ten years ago, and they apparently haven't done
 anything about it, and then they actually used macOS with a case-
 insensitive filesystem to mispackage their latest release. I was going to
 suggest finding the correct version of the file in their repository, but
 [https://sourceforge.net/p/geomview/code/ they have their code in CVS at
 SourceForge] which is not browsable on the web, so I checked out the code
 using the command line. Maybe I don't know how to use CVS correctly, but
 it doesn't look like the CVS repositories actually contain the code; there
 is no src directory in there, for example. SourceForge disabled write
 access to CVS repositories last year, at which time the developers took
 [http://www.geomview.org/dev a backup of their repositories as tarballs]
 and put them on their web server. Those backups don't appear to contain
 the code either. They have [https://github.com/geomview a GitHub
 presence], and they
 [https://sourceforge.net/p/geomview/mailman/message/36068059/ discussed
 moving development there] and updating those repositories with the latest
 code; they don't appear to have done that since
 [https://github.com/geomview/gv1-emodules/tree/master/gvemod-crayola that
 code is not up to date].

 Since you've spoken with them on their mailing list before, maybe you can
 talk with them again about maybe resolving some of these issues?

 How did you confirm that? Did you find the full 0.4 code somewhere?
