+The C Runtime In Tcl is a self-contained package to build C code
+into an extension on the fly. It is somewhat inspired by Brian
+Ingerson's Inline for Perl, but Critcl is considerably more
+lightweight.
+The idea is to wrap C code into something that will compile into a
+Tcl extension, and then also fire up the compiler. Compiled chunks
+will be cached in your ~/.critcl/ directory, so subsequent use will
+be instant.
