Well, I was thinking that we could change _tkinter.c so that it does

#include <Tcl/tcl.h>

instead of

#include <tcl.h>

when a new define TK_FRAMEWORK is set. Then, when a user wants to 
compile against Tk/Aqua, they would need to add a line like this to 
Setup.local:

_tkinter _tkinter.c tkappinit.c -DWITH_APPINIT -DTK_FRAMEWORK \
         -framework Tcl -framework Tk

When a user wants to link against Tk/X11, they would add a line like:

_tkinter _tkinter.c tkappinit.c -DWITH_APPINIT  \
         -I/.../tcl -I/.../tk -I/.../X11 \
         -ltcl -ltk -lX11

Do you think this is the right thing?
