It's strange that every new release of tcl/tk breaks all past programs
which rely on it.

Hopefully we've stabilized on tcl8.4.1 for a while.  Otherwise, perhaps
someone wants to volunteer to maintain the old tcl packages so we can
have a 'tcltk83' package as well as a generic 'tcltk', similar to what
Red Hat and other distributions do in situations like this.
