Subject:   ports & TCL versions

I currently have tcl 8.3.1 & tk 8.3.1 installed.  There are many ports
that require version 8.2.3, and the annoying thing is that the higher
version is not recognized so it attempts to install the older versions
of Tcl/Tk.  

Is there any way to avoid this?  People have said that both versions
will happily coexist, but that isn't a solution.  If coexistence is the
only option, what version will /usr/local/bin/wish &
/usr/local/bin/tclsh belong to if 8.3.1 is installed first and 8.2.3
after?

We use "XFREE86_VERSION=4" in /etc/make.conf to provide the same
facility for XFree86.  If I have some time later I'll try to see if a
TCL equivalent can be hacked together.

thanks all
