That isn't correct.  There are two separate downloads:

	o	GDB which does not include the Insight GUI
		and does not need tcl.

	o	Insight which integrates GDB with a TCL
		interpreter adding a TK/... based GUI.

Insight 5 (and work in progress Insight 5.1) require, due to numerous 
bug fixes, a custom tcl 8.0 release.  The Insight developers are working 
on eliminating this dependency and moving things to tcl 8.3 (just don't 
quote me on the version numbers m'kay :-).

If anything, could I encourage a pkgsrc of current GDB and/or current 
Insight.  They are way more interesting then 5 or 5.1.  The other is 
dejagnu.
