Looks like 8.0.

As per recent discussion we are actually require 8.1 exactly because of 
those missing functions in all versions prior to that.

Too old, looks like :-(.

We just applied a patch that uses Tcl ByteArray objects to prevent
charset-translation problems with lo_read() and lo_write() in recent
Tcl releases.  This breaks compatibility with Tcl 8.0.* because
ByteArray wasn't added till 8.1.

I'd have preferred not to break compatibility with Tcl 8.0.*, but I
didn't see a whole lot of alternatives.  There isn't any other way
AFAICS to prevent recent Tcl releases from applying an unwanted
translation.
