Sorry, Vince, but there are still some problems.  There is a missing brace
somewhere in one of your changes. Here are the variety of bad results you
get from that.

I executed

cvs update

in plplot to get all your changes, then ran make
(which gave me a new plrender and tk driver to accompany your *.tcl file
changes).

Afterwards, when I executed

./x01c -dev tk

from plplot/tmp, here is the error message that was generated.

./x01c -dev tk
Plplot library version: 5.1.0
TCL command "plclient_init" failed:
         can't access "plw::create_proc": parent namespace doesn't exist
TCL command "plclient_link_end" failed:
         can't access "plw::end_proc": parent namespace doesn't exist
Program aborted

Another showstopper error I get is

./plserver
% source tkdemos.tcl
missing close-brace: possible unbalanced brace in comment

I then thought perhaps I had better start from a clean start in case there
was some dependency screwup.  It turns out it doesn't build at all from
a clean start.  Here is
the error message.
