Yes, tk and itcl are used solely by insight, afaik. Tcl, though, is used
by almost everyone for dejagnu/testing.

Not really. The reason they use 2.13 is because that's what tcl, tk, and
itcl were released with. Tcl 8.4.13 (released 7 Mar) still uses autconf
2.13 still. However Tcl CVS HEAD (vintage 8.5 beta) uses 2.59.
Looks like a conversion wouldn't be too difficult using 8.5 code as a
reference. [It's not quite as painless as just regenerating configure,
though. I know -- I tried it with 8.4.12 when I dropped that into my build.]
