Had a further look, and it turns out that tcl.m4 in the backport
branch was an older version. Upgraded now and re-generated
the configure script.

xgc.c: All this does is allocate and free some extra space in
XCreateGC/XFreeGC. Tk8.6 already has the same file, it has
the proper #ifdefs, so those changes are OK.

In "configure.in" and "Makefile.in" I only see changes in
Mac-specific stuff, I tried to build the "tk-cocoa-8-5-backport"
on Cygwin and win32, everything looks fine to me.

This means that my reservations about this full merge
are gone now. I think it can be done directly from
the  "tk-cocoa-8-5-backport", without problems
for other platforms.
