I have no idea where things are actually *supposed* to be, but the
installer placed _tkinter.CFM68k.slb in :Mac:PlugIns: and did not
install the _tkinter.ppc.slb there also. From what I saw, you can
either copy _tkinter.ppc.slb into :Mac:PlugIns: or add its location
to the Path in order to be able to import _tkinter. We are copying
to :Mac:PlugIns: as it appears that was the installer's intent.
