Who do you think releases tcl/tk?  I don't know why you'd think that I
don't know what's going on here.  This was basically a *generic*
observation regardless.  tcl/tk changes the DLL name with every release.
I find that strange.

Regardless, it's very obvious that, setup comments notwithstanding, tk
is used by python.  I don't like breaking python every time I release a
new version of tcl/tk since I don't like making work for Jason.  I guess
that, somehow, Jason has found a chink in my otherwise mean demeanor.
