As the author of tclmidi, I can state with some confidence that
tclmidi is not being maintained in any way, shape or form.  I ran
out of time for it a number of years ago.

However, I should point out that the C++ version of tclmidi was obsolete
before I gave up tclmidi in general.  I think end-of-life for the C++
version was 1997.

The last maintained version was written in eiffel, and should
probably be the version used in the port.  The code is cleaner and
I believe fixed some problems found in the C++ version.  As an added
benefit, it has zero references to strstream.h.

I recently heard from someone who compiled the latest version with a
current SmartEiffel.  It was pretty straight forward to get it to build.
A few minor changes were required, but they were along the lines of
removing usused variables.

I can supply the last released version of tclmidi to someone to host.
My internet connection isn't appropriate for hosting it myself.
