Why make simple things complicated?
Tcl changed it's internal string representation starting with release
8.1 . It is not an interface one can decide whether to use it or not.
Every extension that imports or exports strings and gets compiled for
Tcl >= 8.1 has to make sure that they are UTF8 regardless, if it uses
the Tcl_*Utf*DString functions or something else. So I consider it
sufficient to define TCL_UTF8 if Tcl's Version is >= 8.1 as I did in
the patch that was attached to my last mail.
