Subject: [ruby-talk:13351] tk/tkencoding clash - Advice?

The English versions of the Tk demos for Ruby (originally re-Anglicized by
Conrad Schneiker, now maintained by me) include the tkencoding.rb library.
This conflicts with current versions of Ruby which have merged tkencoding
into tk.rb.  The sequence:

require 'tk'
require 'tkencoding'
require 'tkafter'

sends my installation of ruby into what appears to be an infinite loop
(100% CPU utilization, doesn't exit without interrupt).  I'd like to
maintain compatibility with earlier versions of ruby and it seems like the
best way to do that is conditionally require tkencoding based on Ruby
version.  The merge appears to have been done in Revision 1.17 of tk.rb
(CVS Tags: v1_6_1, v1_6_0), so would it be reasonable to test for
RUBY_VERSION greater than or equal to 1.6.0?
