Jean-Marc,

I see that you've done a lot of work on the configure script for XFree86; 
thanks!  I am having a problem with Tk detection now that I've expunged
the base system Tcl and installed the new ports flavors of Tcl/Tk. 

ports/x11/XFree86/scripts/configure notices my /usr/local/lib/libtk42.a,
but still operates under the old Tcl/Tk assumptions that result in
incorrect values for Tcl/Tk in work/xc/config/cf/site.def.

I am wondering if it might be time to move away from an auto-detection
scheme and perhaps support something conceptually like this in the top
level Makefile: 


	# Uncomment to build XF86Setup
	# CONFIGURE_ARGS= --with-tcl-config=/usr/local/lib/tcl{n} \
	#                --with-tk-config=/usr/local/lib/tk{n}

[where {n} is the most recent known-compatible Tcl/Tk for XF86Setup]

What do you think?  

-Chris
