Summary: Update tcl/tk/tix versions

Initial Comment:
A small patch to Modules/Setup.dist to
update the Tix version to the current tix8.1.8.2
library.

Also, it may be important when adding Tcl extensions
like Tix to define -L/usr/local/lib *before*
any possible libraries like -ltix8.1.8.2. Linux
will silently pick up other installed versions of
the -l libraries defpending on the ld.so settings.

The attached context diff is against 2.1b1, but it
should apply to any 2.x version.

I believe Tix integration should not rely on static linkage
anymore. Instead, you should do

  self.tk.eval("package require Tix") 

and rely on Tix being loaded as a dynamic Tk extension. If
you agree, I'd rather encourage ripping out the Tix
"support" in setup.py, Setup, and all other locations.

Are you using a wrapper module Tix.py? If so, *that* would
be a good addition, and it would also be the place where
dynamic loading of Tix is attempted.
