It's been a while, but when I've tried to run my Tkinter app against Tk 
8.5 with a stock Python installation, I get an error message saying that 
Tk 8.4.x is required. It's probably tkinter.so that hard-codes the 
Tcl/Tk version, not Python itself--I should have been clearer on that. 
However, I still need to know what to patch...
