Subject:	python-2.2.2-1 Tkinter unsable with tcltk-20021218-1

Tkinter of python-2.2.2-1 is unsable with the recent tcltk-20021218-1.

Python 2.2.2 (#1, Nov 15 2002, 07:49:04)
[GCC 2.95.3-5 (cygwin special)] on cygwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import Tkinter
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 35, in ?
    import _tkinter # If this fails your Python may not be configured for Tk
ImportError: dlopen: Win32 error 126

You cannot make the Tkinter usable again by just recompiling the Python.
The below is a quick hack for "python-2.2.2-1/setup.py" to fix it.

By recompiling the python-2.2.2 with this "setup.py", you will get
Tkinter-enabled python again; and besides you can use Input Method
on the Tkinter to input your native language (such as Japanese) now.
(It is the important advantage of using the recent Tcl/Tk, you know.)
