Great to see improvements in this area. Unfortunately I have to finish
up my Ph.D. real soon now and cannot volunteer to help.

We are developing a graph algorithm visualisation software, which uses
Tkinter and so far seems to run pretty well even on old Windows boxes
and on old Macs (LC II or so). Dropping Tk support for 68K macs would
eliminate probably a lot of schools and University computer labs. I certainly
would regret it. (Btw, the visualisation software will be made freely
available. A set of particular algorithms with a textbook will be published by
Springer.)

I only would need Cfm68K for having dinamically loadable extensions, right ?
I could do without it.
