Summary: Set widget pathName to NULL on destroy

Initial Comment:
A detailed description of what lead up to this
patch can be found here:


http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&threadm=3C75D7AB.C67D965B%40nospam.com&rnum=1&prev=/groups%3Fq%3DTk_Window%2BMo%2Bgroup:comp.lang.tcl%26hl%3Den%26scoring%3Dr%26selm%3D3C75D7AB.C67D965B%2540nospam.com%26rnum%3D1

I ran the Tk test suite with this patch applied
and it did not seem to cause any problems.

Another approach might be to copy the window
path name and create another function to
"really" free up a Tk_FakeWin pointer after
the last call to Tcl_Release(). See the
comp.lang.tcl post for more about that option.

I can't imagine a situation where this patch
could hurt since all it could do it keep the
user from accessing bad memory. Checked in
on 2002-06-14.
