  Never mind about favor, I just tried it myself, ..daaah. No problem.
  And while I have your ear, Thanks! I'm that "april fools".
One month later, I've learned a lot, still have a ways to go,
and wish you well.

 The patch works fantasticallly. However unixInit-2.10
remains as fail.
  Also, need a favor. I found I couldn't download patch from IE,
so I had to use another computer system(10.3 w/ Safari). Could you
test a simple patch for me, to see if uploading is a problem?
A simple patch can be found at bug#936081.

[temporaryDIrectory] normalizes
the path values it holds (via a
call to [normalizePath]).  
[testsDirectory] does likewise.

However, [makeDirectory] does
not normalize the path it returns.

That difference leads to most
of these failed tests.

tcltest-9.1/2 are rewritten to
handle direct [source]-ing,
though that's really an unsupported
mode of operation.

Please test this patch, to see
how much of the problem it
corrects.

  Did some checking, supposedly not until 10.3
is there special case-sensitive handling, but I think one
difference that you line of questioning brings up is
OSX's default encoding is utf8.

  Verified, that at the time it runs these tests,
each test's platform is "unix". Didn't check unixInit-2.10.

 Normally, it's "unix".

what is the value of
tcl_platform(platform) on
the Mac OSX system?
Is it "macintosh" ?

tcltest-9.1 seemed to be the exception.
It looks like it's based on running tcltest.test instead of all.tcl

these are errors mostly due
to variable case in paths
in the filesystem?  

Hmm... looks like comparison
of normalized vs. un-normalized
paths.
