BTW, on a Win32 (mingw) build of wish at least, TK_USE_STUB is not
used. So only the Tcl stub table (to which Tk_MainEx doesn't belong)
is meaningful in this description.

However, nothing prevents the existence of wishlike apps which do use
Tk Stubs, provided they call Tk_InitStubs early enough that the
tkStub->tk_MainEx be valid.
