Summary: TEA_PRIVATE_*_HEADERS doesn't find installed private headers

Initial Comment:
As of 8.4.11 or so, tcl and tk provide a `make install-private-headers` target, so extensions needing them can be built without requiring that the core source directories be left lying around.  (This is a requirement for nearly every distributor build environment.)

However, the TEA_TCL_PRIVATE_HEADERS macro still only looks in $(TCL_SRC_DIR), and aborts if the expected headers are not found there.  Ditto TEA_TK_PRIVATE_HEADERS.

Attached patch is a partial workaround.  It just changes AC_MSG_ERROR to
AC_MSG_WARN so that the configure script will run to completion.  Packagers
may need to set CPPFLAGS="-I${tcl_includedir}" in the environment at
configure-time.
File Added: tea-private-includes.patch
