Final report:

I had the quoted exchange below with the good people at
support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.  The answer is that they have do *not*
currently offer the TCL debugger as a separate product under an Free or
no-cost license.  And then have no plans to do so.

There you have it.

Hi Alan,

Thanks for your email, and thank you for your interest in our products.

Unfortunately, the Tcl debugger engine that you want does require
purchase of Komodo IDE, and there are currently no plans to alter either
the bundling or the licensing for the Tcl debugger.

Let me know if you have any further questions or comments.
