Summary: Index script preference for debug Tk

Initial Comment:

When both debug and non-debug Tk
are installed, the generated index scripts
allow either one to successfully [load]
into tclsh.  Which one you get from a
[package require Tk] is currently
quasi-random, depending on the order
in which [tclPkgUnknown] [source]s
the pkgIndex.tcl files.

This patch forces a preference for
the debug-enabled Tk when Tcl
is also debug-enabled.  David
Gravereaux reports he finds this
combination useful when stepping
through Tcl/Tk applications.

When Tcl is not debug-enabled,
the choice for Tk remains
quasi-random even after this patch,
but that seems OK.  Either Tk will
work, so either satisfies the 
[package require].

This patch changes only win/Makefile.
If it is accepted, similar changes should
be made to the alternative makefiles.
