I spoke too soon.

It turns out that, indeed, now Tcl is actually linking against libtcl.

However, Tcl-Tk is still having issues.

Particularly, it's trying to use TK_INCLUDE_SPEC.

However, I just unpacked every version of tk8.4.0 through tk8.4.6, and
NONE of them use TK_INCLUDE_SPEC.

Now this is greatly confusing as cvs shows that it's been checked in
since 2003-09-25, and bth tk8.4.5 and tk8.4.6 have been released since
then.

So I'm not sure if this is a bug in tk for not shipping with that; or
Tcl-Tk for trying to use a feature that hasn't officially been shipped
yet.....
