On 09 May 2002, in a message titled "Python and PIL and rebase, oh my!", 
I said:

All of these issues still exist (but now that tcltk is its own package, 
they are fixable -- when it was all mingled together with gdb it was 
totally unfixable).

Anyway, it'd be nice(tm) if the tcltk binary package included the tk 
header files under /usr/include/tk/ and /usr/include/tk/X11/.  See
http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/testing/tk-includes-8.3.tar.bz2
where the contents were taken from the tcltk -src archive.

/usr/lib/tclConfig.sh and /usr/lib/tkConfig.sh need to be "munged" 
before inclusion in the distro tarball, but they DO need to be present 
in the distro (no fair simply removing them <g>)

If 8.3 is anything like 8.0, we need these symlinks in /usr/lib:

libtcl8.3.a -> libcygtcl83.a
libtk8.3.a -> libcygtk83.a

although the (new?) files
   /usr/lib/itcl3.2/pkgIndex.tcl
   /usr/lib/itk3.2/pkgIndex.tcl
might actually fix that problem; I'm not sure.
