Embedding in Tkinter (reprise)

Search for the "tksteal" package.  This adds a Tk widget that can
"swallow" or "steal" an arbitrary window when its window ID is given.
Once you've compiled this and it is available to your Tcl/Tk
installation, you need merely define a Python class that wraps this new
widget type, like the existing ones in Tkinter.py.

I found a manpage here:
http://www-komo.ise.eng.osaka-u.ac.jp/misc/tcl/tk_steal_man/tksteal.n.html
One copy of the source code for this widget seems to be at
ftp://ftp.neosoft.com/languages/tcl/sorted/packages-7.6/devel/TkSteal4.0c.tar.gz
but there are a lot of dead links related to this piece of software.
