I manage to install 1.0 but selfupdate does not work.

So I took the DarwinPorts-1.3.2-archive.tar.bz2 package and decided  
to install it.

After typing "./configure" I get a list of checks and eventually:

> configure: error: tcl wasn't compiled with threads enabled

And of course, the following "make" won't work...
