 * What about taking the files needed by tix from the tk distribution and
 * put them in tix/patches or tix/files? Then you just need to add a -I
 * directive in the makefile so that tix can compile. That way the
 * usr/local/include directory remains clean. As long as we don't have
 * 100 ports requiring each 100kb of include files I don't see any
 * problem.

This will be a maintenance nightmare, even with much less than 100
ports requiring private headers.  When the tk port is upgraded, these
files are *guaranteed* to be out of date with the installed library.
