Too bad the X Consortium just doesn't bundle tcl/tk with the X distribution
like it does with the Athena widgets.  Then it could just be up to the
vendor as to whether or not they are supplied on that platform, just like
it is now with the Athena widgets.

Of course, this is slightly problematic, since tcl/tk are currently changing
more rapidly than the Athena widgets do, but it would at least get them out
to more places...
