This is untrue of the 'tk' driver.  While I am sure it is possible to
remove any link-time dependencies through use of appropriate stubs,
dispatch tables etc, actually using the tk driver uses the 'plframe'
widget which in turn *requires* the xwin driver to operate.  Therefore it
is meaningless to talk about the 'tk' driver unless the 'xwin' driver is
available...

(at least that's how I understand it).

In this respect the new 'tkwin' driver is better -- it just depends on
external things (availability of tcl/tk).
