Do you plan to support Linux and Mac in the future?
How does the wrapping differ from StarKits?
Does the compiler generate standard Tcl Bytecode loaded via the bload
command or is this some representation of your own?
What kind of license does this use/impose?

Actually, the GPL is potentially dangerous for a development tool like
G. RMS has implied some weird interpretations for the GPL that
would, for example, mean that anything you "compile" or "wrap" with the
G tool would also become GPL.
