I tried to build tkrat from the ports-current collection, and to
my amazement the make process tried to install the tcl80 port. tcl80
is a duplicate of tcl installed by a make world. So,
(1) Why is tcl in the base distribution if it is not used?
troutmask:kargl[250] file /bin/* | grep -i tcl
troutmask:kargl[251] file /sbin/* | grep -i tcl
troutmask:kargl[252] file /usr/bin/* | grep -i tcl
/usr/bin/tclsh: FreeBSD/i386 compact demand paged dynamically linked executable
troutmask:kargl[253] file /usr/sbin/* | grep -i tcl
/usr/sbin/addgroup: a /usr/bin/tclsh script text
(2) Why is the ports-current collection ignoring the version of
tcl installed with the base distribution?
