After further discussion with Harmon we discovered that his system had
various versions of tcl/tk installed and his build was picking up tcl
8.0 and tk8.4.  It seems these don't play well with each other :-).

On Debian, for versions *after* 8.0 tcl is installed into
/usr/lib/tcl<vers>/ but for 8.0 it is installed directly into
/usr/lib.

Our configure scripts pick the /usr/lib version by preference, then
search through tcl8.4, tcl8.3, etc.

I don't know if other platforms are distributed similarly.

Anyway, Harmon's problem is solved.  If anyone thinks we should be
checking that the tcl/tk versions found match then please shout and/or
contribute a patch!
