Hi,

Sadly, the documentation is incorrect, and has been for some time. [I'm 
not entirely sure how long.]

As it is, when you checkout Insight from CVS (or download a snapshot), 
you will get everything you need to build Insight, including tcl, tk, 
itcl, and libgui.

Although the goal is to get rid of the dependency on our built-in 
versions of tcl, tk, and itcl for "standard" releases, we're not quite 
there yet. Actually, I bet we're *awfully* close. Just a lot of 
configury changes need to be made, I think; this has been true for some 
time since we moved to more standard versions of tcl, tk, and itcl in 
the repository.

One of these days, I'm gonna hack the configury to allow us to build 
using pre-installed versions of these things.
