I'm running with my 'glob' patch.

ReproducibleScript:
Problem 1)
    ----------
    
    In the pkgindex for iwidgets the following line:
    
    package ifneeded Iwidgets 3.0.0 "source [file join $dir iwidgets.tcl]"
    
    should be replaced with
    
    package ifneeded Iwidgets 3.0.0 [list source [file join $dir
    iwidgets.tcl]]
    
    or iwidgets will not load if you've installed Tcl in a path with spaces
    (the default under Windows!).
    
    Problem 2)
    ----------
    
    So that Tcl/Tk extensions can be built with the Metrowerks compiler on
    windows, two small changes should be made:
    
    In tkWinPort.h the following line should be wrapped as follows:
    
    #ifndef __MWERKS__
    #include <sys/stat.h>
    #endif
    
    since this file doesn't exist in the Metrowerks Standard Library (or
    perhaps it's just 'stat.h' not in sys).  Anyway to build an extension
    the above suffices.
    
    Similarly tclWinPort.h requires the following minor change:
    
    #ifndef __MWERKS__
    #include <sys/stat.h>
    #include <sys/timeb.h>
    #endif
    
    With these two changes one can easily build extensions for Tcl and Tk
    using the standard distribution.



Problem (1) was fixed in 8.2b1, but not the source release. Need to do (2) still.
