I just did that (renamed the 3.0 tcl/analysis.tcl to Xanalysis.tcl, grabbed the
tcl/analysis.tcl from the 3.0.beta3 tree and dumped it into the 3.0 tree. Then recompiled
make clean
./configure
make 
make install



Seems to working OK.
It's a work-around for those not requiring other features from the more recent analysis.tcl
file (i.e. 3.0). Unless ofcourse, Shane thinks you shouldn't for some reason.
