/*
 *----------------------------------------------------------------------
 *
 * PyTcl_WaitUntilEvent --
 *
 *	New function to wait until a Tcl event is ready without
 *	actually handling the event.  This is different than
 *	TclWaitForEvent(): that function doesn't call the event
 *	check routines, which is necessary for our purpose.
 *	We also can't use Tcl_DoOneEvent(TCL_DONT_WAIT), since that
 *	does too much: it handles the event.  We want the *handling*
 *	of the event to be done with the Python lock held, but the
 *	*waiting* with the lock released.
 *
 *	Since the event administration is not exported, our only
 *	choice is to use a modified copy of the file tclNotify.c,
 *	containing this additional function that makes the desired
 *	functionality available.  It is mostly a stripped down version
 *	of the code in Tcl_DoOneEvent().
 *
 *	This requires that you link with a static version of the Tcl
 *	library.  On Windows/Mac, a custom compilation of Tcl may be
 *	required (I haven't tried this yet).
