Packages which used to use the debian-specific hack TCL_INC_DIR from
tclConfig.sh to find the tcl (or tk) headers should be modified to use
the new patented upstream TCL_INCLUDE_SPEC variable instead.
TCL_INCLUDE_SPEC was introduced with Tcl8.4, but I have backported it
to 8.3, for consistency's sake.
TCL_INCLUDE_SPEC is a little different than TCL_INC_DIR -- it includes
a "-I" in front of the path, so if you were using "-I$TCL_INC_DIR",
you should change it to just "$TCL_INCLUDE_SPEC". If you were doing
something with TCL_INC_DIR that isn't compatible with have "-I" at the
front, LET ME KNOW!
TCL_INC_DIR will be going away! Let me say this again, TCL_INC_DIR
WILL BE GOING AWAY, just as soon as I think I can possibly get away
with it. At that time, anything still using TCL_INC_DIR will *break*!
If you have a problem with that, LET ME KNOW, as soon as possible!
cheers
