Done in CVS.

I included the flags explicitly in tk/Makefile.examples.in.  It is not
appropriate to include them in plplotd-tcl.pc, because they are not
dependent on the PLplot library.  If I put them there, then the user will be
stick to a specific version of Tcl/Tk, which is a Bad Thing (TM).

Good.  I was even not thinking about fixing that, since the amount of work
would be considerable.  At any rate, pkg-config is only really useful when
PLplot is fully installed.

No, I cannot.

I think I am done with my changes.  I am waiting for your green light.
