Also update the tk dep to no longer demand tk83. It does not seem to
work all that well with tk84, but it works about the same as it does
with tk83. And depend explicitly on tcl; that was missing.
Primary changes since 1.2.1 seem to be GPLv2 -> GPLv3 and
whitespace/reindenting, but there seems to be a bit more in there
too. There's also now a 12 meg kdevelop blob in the distfile, yay.
Changelog:
GNU Sather 1.2.3 - Jul 7, 2007 - Michael R. Taylor
* Made INT 32-bit even on 64-bit systems
* Changed license to (GPLv3/LGPLv3) or later
There's no changelog for 1.2.2, dunno why.

Sather is an object oriented language which designed to be simple,
efficient, safe, and non-proprietary. It aims to meet the needs of
modern research groups and to foster the development of a large,
freely available, high-quality library of efficient well-written
classes for a wide variety of computational tasks. It was originally
based on Eiffel but now incorporates ideas and approaches from several
languages. One way of placing it in the "space of languages" is to say
that it attempts to be as efficient as C, C++, or Fortran, as elegant
and safe as Eiffel or CLU, and to support higher-order functions as
well as Common Lisp, Scheme, or Smalltalk.
Sather has garbage collection, statically-checked strong typing,
multiple inheritance, separate implementation and type inheritance,
parameterized classes, dynamic dispatch, iteration abstraction,
higher-order routines and iters, exception handling, assertions,
preconditions, postconditions, and class invariants. Sather code can
be compiled into C code and can efficiently link with C object files.
