Tix wants access to tkInt.h and tkPort.h (and tclInt.h). We want at least these. For symmetry with Tcl in the base system we simply install all the headers, that's 100k "bloat" at most. I also wouldn't want to touch Tk again if some other extension (like itcl) wants yet another tk<something>.h. As a nice side effect we no longer need to unpack the Tk source to build Tix. I already have a version of tix which expects the Tk headers in /usr/local/include/tk and the tkConfig.sh in /usr/local/lib. tg
