Good news, glad to hear it.  Not the part about configure adding 
"/include", seems to me that's not very friendly of it!  That's a problem 
on this end which I will fix before the next release.  It falls into the 
"what was I thinking?" category.

Your solution sounds good to me.  I'd never heard of C_INCLUDE_PATH 
before, it's good to know about it.  I would imagine that now you have the 
Tcl-related libraries built, you should be OK commenting it out and seeing 
how things work.

I'm glad the issues were sorted out.  Thanks back to you for the problem 
report...
