I think the original motivation for the lib-tk subdirectory was the
ability to add or remove it from sys.path, through
Modules/Setup. These days, nobody edits Modules/Setup anymore, so I'd
question its usefulness (it should be preserved for compatibility, of
course).

OTOH, I don't feel strongly about this, and would trust the decision
in Kurt's hands.
