+tcc4tcl (Tiny C Compiler for Tcl) is a Tcl extension that provides
+an interface to TCC. It is a fork of tcltcc by Mark Janssen.
+
+It makes extending Tcl with C and creating compiled package
+extensions a simple and interactive experience. It incorporates TinyCC,
+a small yet featureful C compiler that works fast enough to be used as
+a JIT compiler.
+
+In addition to the TinyCC binding, tcc4tcl allows quick wrapping of C
+functions into Tcl procedures, and saving these procedures in libraries
+loadable as package extensions using the load command. It is similar to
+Critcl, except that the compiler is included.
