Thank you very much for sending me these patches.

Right. I already fixed this problem by also speeding up this
procedure. Its been really ugly.

Correct. Will be fixed in the next snapshot.

Correct. Will be fixed in the next snapshot.

You convinced me. ;-) Will use --with-tcl and --with-tk in the next
snapshot. I guess its getting time for a new snapshot now. Thanks
again.
