This is what I actually do in scripts. The scotty executable still
exists (on Unix) basically of some tradition. ;-)

Tclsh is per default not running the event loop. You have to force
tclsh into the event loop, usually by doing a "vwait forever". Scotty
is always running in an event loop.
At some point in time, I was seriously hoping that Tcl folks would
make tclsh event-driven per default and that Tk would be a loadable
module just like everything else. I am not sure this is every going
to happen. But if it does, I will drop scotty as well. ;-)
