Who do you think releases tcl/tk? I don't know why you'd think that I
don't know what's going on here. This was basically a *generic*
observation regardless. tcl/tk changes the DLL name with every release.
I find that strange.
Regardless, it's very obvious that, setup comments notwithstanding, tk
is used by python. I don't like breaking python every time I release a
new version of tcl/tk since I don't like making work for Jason. I guess
that, somehow, Jason has found a chink in my otherwise mean demeanor.
