Hi Tom, Lincoln,

I just checked in some changes which might address your Tcl/Tk 
configuration hassles. Please let me know how they work.

Right. And the configuration logic correctly finds those. What it 
does (or doesn't do, to put it more accurately) with the contents 
of these is/was the problem.

Do you mean "-I/usr/include/tcl8.2"?
I hope so. Otherwise things just got even more convoluted.

Well if your 8.4 tclConfig.sh/tkConfig.sh files contain 
'TCL_INC_DIR' and 'TK_INC_DIR', repsectively, then this was 
handled by an enhancement to the configure system. If tclConfig.sh 
contains a 'TCL_INCLUDE_SPEC' var, then Debian finally decided to 
do something more mainstream....

  Thanks,
