New Tk event modifier

• <Quadruple>

New Tk virtual events

• <<ListboxSelect>>

Changed behavior

• pkg_mkIndex now creates direct-loading index (-direct) by default. Use -lazy to get backward compatible behavior.

Improved performance

• eval [list a b c]
• concat [list a b c] [list d e f]

In both cases (and their close allies) there are fewer conversions between lists and strings than in previous versions of Tcl.
