Okay, well that's mostly true. For example, I just replaced the versions 
of tcl and tk that come with Insight with the latest stable release from 
ActiveState. Add the configure.in and Makefile.in from the 
sourceware.org versions, and poof! Insight built with tcl/tk 8.4.12.

Now, as for using an external insight, the FAQ is correct. There is no 
way to do this just yet. It's going to require a bunch of autoconf 
hacking, and it could get tricky, since CVS will *always* have a copy 
Tcl around (for dejagnu).

I just haven't had either the time or the motivation to embark on this. 
I'm just not sure it's worth it: insight is on its last legs, as it were.
