Re: pkg/46867 (Tk 8.5.12 does not build on Solaris)

Maybe someone cares to answer my questions? I do actually need a working 
Tk, we still have some legacy applications that use it.

I simply installed the package without the patches, i.e. I installed 
less header files and shared objects with a different naming scheme. The 
only change I needed for some depending packages was to remove the 
pkgsrc addition in lang/tcl-expect that creates a static library of 
libexpect, because the same handcrafted code was removed from Tk.

Observing the rule "If it ain't broken, don't fix it", I ask again to 
consider trimming down Tcl and Tk and remove the majority of the changes 
pkgsrc has added to these two packages.
