Yeah, you're going to need to add those to LD_LIBRARY_PATH... Or maybe I 
could add something to gdbtk_init to do that for us? I guess I'll get to 
that when I'm "finished" with ripping it out.

FWIW, I do not plan to use the in-tree tcl, tk, and itcl anymore. Only 
the system-supplied ones. I (will) consider building insight with 
src/tcl, src/tk, and src/itcl deprecated. Hopefully, in a few hours. :-)

This is where the upstream sources put them since Itcl and Itk are now 
using the TEA. I am hesitant (but not unwilling) to change this if there 
is need.

Ugh. I didn't even consider that. Hacking gdbtk_init for LD_LIBRARY_PATH 
sounds more and more like a better idea: it kills two birds with one stone.

Well, for my sanity, I would recommend that you switch to installing 
system tcl, tk, and itcl when I commit the final changes. It'll mean 
less work for me! :-P

Won't be long now...
