Ah yes, you're right that was the problem... the Debian package  
tcl8.4-dev was installed, but for some reason the tcl.h and other  
header files were installed in /usr/include/tcl8.4, which means even  
specifying a ./configure --tclinclude=/usr/include/tcl8.4 would fail  
since the configure script automatically adds a "/include" to  
whatever tclinclude is specified!

As a kludgy (but tolerable I hope) solution, I set and exported  
C_INCLUDE_PATH="/usr/include/tcl8.4". I guess now that the tools are  
all built I should be able to get rid of it... but I'll leave it in  
my .bashrc for now, I can't see any problems arising because of this,  
correct me if I'm wrong.

Anyway, all is well now! Thanks for your help Rick!
