Right.

It moved to a Wiki base, IIRC.
Anyway, I don't see the point of removing support for building
packages from the tree. I can still legitimately want to build Tix
along with Tcl, Tk and Itcl. IMHO, the fact that the tools in src no
longer use Tix doesn't imply, to me, that the infrastructure to build
Tix should no longer be there. It costs very little (or nothing) to
keep it working. Removing it just because we can doesn't sound like
such a good idea to me. Maybe I'm being overly conservative? If more
people think so, please let me know, I'm always open to change.
